A circle held, a life unfolding This card is built around a circle. A continuous pattern, interwoven and unbroken — something ancient, something steady. I painted it in metallic tones so it catches the light, sitting against a deep indigo wash that feels like night settling in. At the centre, a small cluster of pink … Continue reading Full Pink Moon – 2nd April
There is something about this particular point in the year that always feels fragile. We are not fully in spring.It could still snow.There could still be icy mornings and hard ground.

Art Cards for the turning year. I’m sitting in my studio looking out at a bare tree and a dormant garden. Everything feels paused.
