Whilst working in my studio, I'm obsessed with listening to fiction authors. They're articulate, compassionate & enlightened.

Here #PatBarker talks about her Regeneration trilogy - on the reality of war, informed by her many years of factual research on the subject. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears," (Rumi) or as attributed to Picasso, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." Never a truer word... and am enjoying this new path. Watch this space x

🌿It’s World Environment Day!🌿 ...thinking about how much I love and value the natural world and how I choose to reflect this in my art practise.

There needs to be more of this in the world... I read yesterday something so profoundly simple it stopped me in my tracks. If we want wars to end - follow the money, follow the people profiting financially from it. If there wasn't money in it for them, there would be peace 🕊 #kagyusamyeling #peace

UK recognition is a welcome step towards a better understanding of the story of the occupation of the Channel Islands. Bravo #channel4

But it'll be very disappointing if they trot out the age old tropes of "collaboration" or "gerry-bag" propaganda. Fingers crossed.

Thinking of this special generation today, for their fortitude and bravery. Their stories will never be forgotten as we continue to honour them on this 80th anniversary of their Liberation.
