A Meditation on Resilience

I am having my website restyled at the moment and as part of the design process I was asked to provide some insight into my artmaking which I thought I would share. I explained that I create paintings with the intent of enhancing wellbeing. I showed examples of a range of watercolours and canvases describing how some of my works are dedication pieces or gifts for individual people while others address global issues or human conditions. In each expression I aim to create an artwork that subliminally acts as a catalyst for the viewer to experience positive mental and emotional associations. I am greatly influenced by positive psychology and mindfulness. This work on paper is inspired by Martin Seligman’s Wellbeing Theory.
