23. Dancing with nature: Capturing movement in starling and river artworks

In this episode I welcome you behind-the-scenes into my studio and by the riverbank to get a glimpse into my art process

Come into my art studio as I share my process in creating my two art collections - Starling Mumurations and Rivers Run Through Us. In this episode I share:

  • What looking back at my artwork revealed

  • How my relationship with nature Life as a constant process of becoming and happening - life, death, rebirth

  • How I made the starling murmuration artworks

  • Why health struggles led to my fascination with the river and water

  • How I make the river artworks in collaboration WITH the river

  • What I’m interested in making next
