I love to see new life springing up over a redundant decaying surface. It reminds me that there is always hope and possibility of life - where joy is given instead of mourning, where beauty is given instead of ashes and where there is a cry of praise instead of heaviness.

In a time of turbulence, change and unrest, I started making a painting that was mostly black. However as I kept going with the layers I arrived at this place of peace.

This painting has lots of stamps from around the World collaged into the layers. It stood in the studio for a long time until I added the words when at last I felt it to be complete. All over the World - ‘Arise, Shine!’

I find ethereal to be a lovely word, meaning light, airy, heavenly. I felt it perfectly suited this painting which grew from seeing some floating shapes moving across the floor as the sun shone in the window and then fading softly away,- a moment in time that comes gently and can disappear from view  unnoticed.

This painting started with a photocopy of the dominoes I used to play with my Grandma when I was a child. The collage became hidden but led to a painting which speaks of the eternal  relationship of love. Almost hidden is a little 'teabag quote' which says  'Life is a flow of love. Your participation is requested' from where the title arose.
