Identity

IDENTITY

Two lives.

I have two lives.

Like two pebbles

dropped in a pool

side by side

their ripples flow

into each other

on one side

yet circle separately

on the other.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog presenting some of my paintings and poetry. These two creative activities are both similar and different – and complementary, which is why I sometimes combine a poem with a painting. My favourite medium is acrylics because these paints are so rich and versatile that it’s possible to produce anything from thick impasto effects to delicate water colours. I love experimenting with acrylics to find out what I can do with them, how I can use them to express a concept, a feeling, an experience, a sight … Poetry serves a similar purpose through the medium of words. Creation can be a personal and solitary experience but the result is, hopefully, the expression of something that can appeal to everyone - which is why I have set up this blog.
