THE Art of IMAGINATION : April 2017

Finding Calypso's Hideaway
A further piece on the Jack Sparrow series, featuring my son, Macauley as Captain Jack Sparrow. Goodness knows who that other guy is wading in the river...

About Me

I am a mother to 10-year-old twin boys, Jonty and Macauley from New Zealand. Through a mother’s eyes, capturing my children’s individual personalities and character, then positioning them in their own visual story art pieces, is a unique way of preserving treasured family memories that the boys can one day draw upon and show to their own children.

Equipped with my computer and software, a camera, a Wacom Tablet and my imagination, I aim to produce whimsically detailed imagery that speaks from the soul, projecting a blend of a mother’s love and devotion. The conceptual artworks blur the lines between magic and reality, highlight the boys’ individual interests and passions, encapsulates the emotion and tells the viewer a story.

To spice up the fantasy feel, I also fashion wearable art costumes for both boys encompassing outfits, wigs, facial hair and makeup. Once the boys are in character, I encourage them to utilise their acting skills and proceeds to photograph them in a variety of poses to be used in my artwork. An essential ingredient in preserving our treasured family memories is having my artwork printed into beautiful archival books annually.

I am firm believer that any form of art is a journey that is continually evolving, as you never stop learning, being limited only by your own imagination.

As Einstein so aptly put “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
