I am a current art therapy student with IKON here in Victoria , Australia. Although, I have been an independent practicing artist for 25 yrs. All my work has been based on my lived experience. An in depth exploration as an Art Therapist seems a natural progression.
Freedom, 2020 is in response to my bike ride today. With lock – downs and social distancing, I can still ride my beloved bike. It is my meditation . Breathe in, breathe out, pedal, breathe in, breathe out , pedal. My mind and breath only, in this moment, my life depends on it.
‘ This is a time of the new – new beginnings, new ways of being, new ways of living in this world. This is the time of the new – a new way if sharing, a new way of loving, self and others, a new way of life in this immediate environment.
It is a time to stop, slow down, stand still. Reevaluate what is important . Now is the time to feel the new breathe of enforced stillness, listen to our intuition. We know what to do, we know what is the right direction.Survival is within, available to each and everyone of us. ‘
