A little jaunt in the municipality of Pyrgos situated on the Ionian Sea coast. The beautiful Greek island of Zakynthos with its stunning clear blue sea and dramatic cliffs and sea caves.

The most significant and positive change I made in my life…
Having more courage in expressing myself more honestly and openly through my artwork.
‘Featprints’ (2025) Acrylic and acrylic inks on canvas (30” x 20”)
This painting is the most figurative of my recent works. It is fuelled by my being more open and explicit about my past and its legacy. I still wish to leave the viewer with ‘room’ for alternate interpretations.

Mastering the Art of Truth Detection
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
A secret skill or ability I have or wish to have…🤔
Well, if I were to tell you my secret skill or ability it wouldn’t be a secret anymore – now would it 🤷♀️
I would love the ability to call out a liar. I’m too trusting (even though I’ve spent a lifetime surrounded by liars) and give the benefit of doubt too readily.

Thus, I would love to walk away from lies before they even finish the first sentence.
Happy Monday! ❤️
Coping Strategies
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
Strategies I use to cope with negative feelings…
Ooh, I use different strategies – dependant on what and how severe my negative feelings are.
The majority of the time I get my paint brushes out and express my feelings on the canvas. I also write in my journal, splurge all my thoughts and negative feelings on the page.
I occasionally chat with my friends…
More recently, I have expressed my feelings through tears, floods of persistent tears – what a release!!!💧
In the warmer months I will go into my garden and potter around. At other times I go on a cleaning spree in my home, scrubbing and polishing already clean surfaces.
I do, at times sit quietly and have a little chat with myself. Put things into perspective…it’s not all that bad – surely?
Take a deep breath, or three…
Slam the music on and dance 🎶💃
Happy Saturday ❤️
Passionate About Painting and Gardening: Activities that Absorb Me
What activities do you lose yourself in?
What activities do I lose myself in…
I can’t say I lose myself in any activity. The activities where I get totally absorbed has to be painting and gardening. I also love a bit of construction and DIY.

I love pottering in my garden…

Shopping Spree Wishlist: Art, Tools, and Shoes
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
Where would I like to go on a shopping spree…
Art materials are not cheap. If I had the funds, I would spend a whole day in an art materials store. I would buy a variety of brushes in all shapes, materials and sizes. I would wander along taking in all the vibrant, richly pigmented paint and pastel colours. I would purchase rolls of fine canvas and handmade watercolour paper. What a dream… 🎨🖌️🖼️👩🏻🎨
Secondly, I would go on a ‘power tool’ shopping spree – I just love them!
Finally, a lady never has too many pairs of shoes! 🥿👠🥾👢👡💃
Happy Sunday! ❤️
