The 12th work in the Artist’s series Who We Are. Her unique perspective on being human is shared through symbolic emblems of her memories and life experiences. Protected by a glass bell jar with a patinaed brass base is a bouquet of blooming Scottish thistles tightly bound by a Davies clan tartan ribbon. The blue and green with a pinch of ivory represents the Artist’s Welsh heritage on her maternal Grandmother’s side of family. The thistles are emblematic of her Scottish heritage from both her Grandmothers. Each element of the composition tells the story of the Artist’s mental health journey. It takes an incredible amount of strength to walk a thorny path to wellness, the strength of her Grandmothers passed to her from the other side of the veil. To gift this spikey flower to someone is to convey your admiration for their ability to persevere through difficult times. She keeps this gift on a shelf in the back of her mind for when she needs to call upon it.

From my ongoing series, “Who We Are”, an exploration of my unique perspective on being human, these deeply personal works convey the value in my life stories. Emblems representing my memories and experiences are carefully curated on shelves in the back of my mind; an invitation to self-reflection and remembrance.
"“I was born an Artist. Painting is something I’m driven to do. It’s a cathartic, healing process that helps me to connect with myself and others. When my brush hits the canvas the whole world melts away - it’s just my favourite music, the art and me.”"
