Healthy body, healthy mind!
Contending with heart problems in my family means that health, nutrition and wellbeing are at the forefront of my thinking; whether that be when making artwork or preparing meals for the family. On an aesthetic note, fruit and vegetables are so gloriously varied and rich with form, colour and texture. Translating this into collage has been equally as satisfying as it is to chop, cook and eat these fine gifts from nature. My children love to roll their sleeves up and plant seeds, grow and pick their vegetables from the garden, and I truly think this adds to their pleasure when devouring their produce. It has also made them more open to sampling more exotic examples found on the shelves of supermarkets or in food markets local and abroad.
