Things started off small. I am not a big ‘angel’ person but I do possess a pair of tiny angel earrings. Over the years I have become quite fond of them. It was therefore a little annoying to discover that I had lost one of them during a day out. I had a fairly thorough […]

The first heart arrived serenely through an early morning sun. On a walk I was contemplating how I could create a visual representation of the shadow self being created by belief systems within us. Beliefs that blind us to life/consciousness being the one thing in everything, beliefs with which we decorate our choices of our […]
