One
'One', completed 29th March 2018. , Small 5x7" Intuitive original abstract acrylic painting. Organic-style, nature-inspired mixed media artwork. Healing expressionist art.
An original miniature artwork created using acrylic paints and gel pens on 5" x 7" Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
'One' is a small but powerful, dynamic original Mixed Media artwork created intuitively in my studio in the heart of the Peak District National Park in rural Derbyshire.
- I named this painting 'One' in recognition of the fact that Life Itself really IS all One Thing, expressing itself in myriad, countless, individuated forms which believe themselves to be utterly discrete and yet which remain indelibly interconnected…* Our individual experience of being ONE, of feeling separated from the whole from which we are cast out at inception, can be incredibly hard to bear, particularly in the Western world with all its tools of alienation…
- Art is my way of retaining awareness of, and practising the joy of connection to, the incredible, magical force behind all of Life. Having a way to express my inner world and to channel the messages I receive from Life has saved my own life repeatedly over the years. I continue to reach out to humanity through this shared connection - our capacity to love and appreciate that which is beautiful and uplifting. I live in hope that one day, our creativity will save us all.

***
Creating art is a deeply therapeutic activity for me. And although they are small, just as much time, connection, intuition and love go into painting my smaller works as does into my larger works. Spontaneously manifesting shapes and forms develop as I paint. Deliberately placed marks and formations are intuitively guided and placed.
This colourful mixed media creation is as gorgeous as it is diminutive - won't take up much room on the wall, but it has a huge personality. Its small size makes it ideal for placing on a shelf, table or dresser, and it also looks great in a collection with other mini paintings such as 'Trinity' and 'Let There Be Light'.
