My Creative Process and Call to Action

​

What you see in these paintings are the sounds from nature, from music, from unusual instruments, from the human voice and from sounding objects, that allow me to receive and translate into word and image. My synasthesia – colour hearing - is the medium through which I experience creative expression of the energies of each tree. Are the messages for real? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

 

The works of Diana Beresford-Kroeger, Peter Wohlehben, Monica Gagliano and Stefano Mancuso make a very strong case for Nature and plant intelligence, based on scientific inquiry, experiment and observation. It seems to me that where there is intelligence; consciousness - however it’s defined and expressed, must follow. 

 

We are living through perilous times, and it’s my belief that we will succeed in traversing them, when we remember who we are and draw upon our greatest strength as human beings -  our ability to experience empathy and emotion in relation to others. We are not alone – we share in, co-exist and co-create our world alongside the beings of all other living creatures on Earth, including tree-beings. 

 

Consider what a big difference that one word shift, extending the word  “-being” to all, would make. It’s time to say it out loud!
