    Just keep drawing…

    Exploring new techniques and different grades of paper. From this in 2023… To now… Kate is my eldest daughter, and Rosie my youngest daughter and Umbra is her dear furry friend. I have held them both in my heart as visuals in my mind for the different stages of Molly’s life, the main character in…

  • Messages From Heaven – Spiritual Consignments.

    In December 2024 I did the first of these kind of portraits. To date I have now done seven of these. My past career as a spirit medium comes in handy with these. Through dreams or persistent nudges, loved ones in Heaven guide me to their relatives still living on the physical plane, and I…

  • Art For The Heart.

    Art For The Heart.

    Healing of Grief is a process, and it affects us all in such variety of ways. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote in her book On Death and Dying back in 1969, of the five stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. This collection of portraits I am creating is called Art For The Heart,…

    New Stuff

    I have been busy drawing a variety of subjects this past month. Some from family photos, and some for a topic ‘Art For The Heart – Messages From Heaven’. I have drawn several portraits for friends who have been missing a loved one who is either in Heaven or living overseas. What a powerful experience…

  • Doodles.

    Doodles.

    Drawing eyes fascinates me, a window to the soul. Drawing someone else’s eyes is quite intimate and often brings me to tears with the sense of connection. Although these people are not in the physical anymore, their presence remains when we tune in to it. Doodles are different, and doodling with other mediums is refreshing,…

    Window In Time No 5

    This photo has a name! It was signed, ‘From your dear friend, ‘Islet’ and was addressed to Alma, John’s Grandmother, this would have been taken in the mid 1920’s. Although these are not my blood relations, the sense of connection I feel with them as I draw is fascinating. I receive prompts of how to…

  • Angels at Work.

    Angels at Work.

    There is so much more to Life than what is visible to the physical eye. So much more is going on behind the scenes of our daily routines. Oblivious to most, our angels and ancestors support and guide us regardless of who we are or what we are doing. ‘Hinemoa’ has found a new home,…

  • Clarity through Doodling

    Clarity through Doodling

    I have started a new portrait in graphite and to have a break I frame some of our art. Yesterday I could not get the measurements to fit for a mounting. Feeling frustrated I turned my focus to making pizza dough and playing with soft pastels. It is such a good feeling, not actually knowing…

    Doodles

    I found these graphite pencils in a local store in Feilding, the darkest one is a 50-50 combination of graphite and charcoal, perfect of passive highlighting. Hmmm, am I ready for a big charcoal drawing? I do love the freedom of the big page doodles and a stick of charcoal. And I look forward to…
