A Visual Narrative Through Art: Autobiographical & Conceptual Fine Art
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
When I think of the word “successful” 🤔
Who?🤔
Ummm…ummm…🤔
Well, it’s certainly not my parents!
It really depends on what you define as ‘successful’ ?🤔
So, I’m going to say…ME! 🤗
What makes a good neighbor?
What makes a good neighbour?
This is an easy one to answer…I have absolutely no idea. 🤔
Born in England, I moved house 48 times during my childhood. Therefore, I didn’t really get to know my neighbours. At 16yrs of age, I moved to Wales. Wow…I’d only gone 50 miles from Bristol (England) to Cardiff (Wales). I was an Alien 👽!!!
Anyway, I’ve been in my current home for nearly six years now. I’ve had one conversation with my immediate neighbour. I live in a city where they/we look after our selves.
I’m now an honorary Welsh person, as I’m told.
What makes a good neighbour? I still have no idea 🤔.
What could you try for the first time?
I would love to go up in a hot air balloon. Float around and enjoy panoramic views of the landscape. It somehow, feels quite romantic. ❤️
I have done a lot of scuba diving in the past, in various locations around the world. But the deepest I have dived is 45 metres. I would like to explore some of the more remote and deeper parts of the ocean.
Therefore, I could delve deeper in our oceans in a fully submersible glass submarine. How wonderful! 🤗❤️
What have you been putting off doing? Why?
What have I been putting off doing? Why?
I have been ducking and diving from the pages scattered across my desk for months. Ok, years!. Well, they’re not scattered, I’m a bit OCD, so neatly arranged on my desk.
I look at this beautiful stack of A4 sheets of paper every day (old school) knowing I just need to complete the final chapter. I am referring to my memoir.
I’ve had to look deeply within myself as to why I can’t seem to write the final pages. After much soul searching, and a couple of red wines (it helps sometimes), I have come to the realisation that I fear failure, rejection (not the book, but me), misinterpretation, and questioning myself as to whether I have omitted relevant information. But more importantly…..I will be revealing my truths, my life, and my vulnerabilities 😱.
If I complete it…What would I do next?
Well, I have got a bloody big pile of ironing to do 🤔.
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
When was the first time I felt like a grown up?
Hmmm…my answer to that would be;
If I’ve never felt like a child, how would I know when I felt like a grown up?🤔🤷♀️
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
If I had a million dollars to give away, I would give it to:
Women’s aid: A National charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children.
Shelter: A charity that supports homeless people.
NAPAC: The National Association for people abused in childhood.
PTSD UK: Dedicated to raising awareness of PTSD.
All of the above, have helped, supported, and guided me through all of my childhood and adult traumatic experiences. I would not be here today without them ❤️🙏
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
To let down my guards, fall in LOVE, and share our lives together. ❤️
Short, to the point, but that’s it 🙏
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?
The hardest personal goal i have set for myself is the same a previous blogs “In Search of Sara” and “who am I?”
Find Sara, have a voice and complete my memoir, all rolled up into one big beautiful package 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁♥️
Who are your favorite artists?
I have hundreds of favourite Artists, but here are a few:
Mark Rothko’s captivating, large scale, colour field paintings.
Rachel Whiteread’s sculptures/casts and installations.
Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque’s cubist paintings, inspired by Paul Cezanne and African and Iberian sculptures.
Gaudi’s modernist architecture.
Christo and Jean Claude’s site specific installations.
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in fresco.
And of course, last but not least: MYSELF. 🤗
What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
I have many hobbies, but my all time favourite has to be ‘travel’, exploring new Countries.
Seaplane transfer from Mali…atols in the Maldives 🤗
