'There is always hope' and 'What guides you'
The cold of winter can feel like a dark place, yet amidst the harsh daylight, it holds the potential for hope—if you are willing to see it.
‘Obstacles do not block the path, they are the path’
When you're worn out and feeling creatively blocked the last thing you think you will create is an exquisite large watercolour with the addition of a medium you have never used before.
‘On the other side of fear is freedom’
If we trust ourselves to see that within our fear of doing something new we will always find growth, no matter what the outcome.
2023 was my year for change and gosh did things change in my personal life and business. Not by chance either, I was very intentional about actioning this change. I decided on the word ‘Fearlessness’ to be my guide for the year so it would challenge me to try new things in my business. All of it worked. Yes, all of it, even the stuff that didn’t work.
Rise to that higher place within yourself even though you fear it. You know it’s there. It’s been waiting for you to see it. You’ve become aware of your self but now it’s time to rise even further.
I have a secret to share with you.
I once was fearful of creating commissions. Early on in my career they terrified me. I often wondered who was I to be able to create something especially for someone and their home when I had only ever been used to creating within my own safe zone of painting just for myself?
I have some wonderful news to share …In January I was thrilled to win my first award. Runner up in the Craigs Investment Partners Aspiring Art Prize in Wanaka.
