Thank you for joining, Helen

When I'm planning a workshop or teaching, I miss my solo time painting; when I'm by myself painting, I miss the people and workshops....

The more I understand myself, the more I honour and work with these aspects in harmony.

At present, prepping the studio for tomorrow's Paint*Magic workshop and the question keeps coming to mind -

"why is it that self-expression can sometimes be so hard?"

Can't wait to get into that through colour and discussion with ma peeps.

Two spots left - DM me or have a look at the website.

And next week - solo time in the studio painting for a week long pop up at the Corn Exchange Gallery in Aberteifi 20-26th July.

LOLLLLL

so much going on this summer 😊

Did I mention a current exhibition @orielyparc St Davids?

I'm proud of this exhibition - featuring my favourite Pembrokeshire place and paintings from the last 30 years.

The show is on until 2nd August, and if you can't make the show in person you can see highlights now on my website - you know where ;-)

Understanding the energies associated with the chakra centres can be a powerful creative tool because it gives you different entry points into expression. Instead of trying to “come up with an idea,” you can begin with a felt sense in the body and let that shape what appears on the page or canvas.

I’m buzzing with excitement about this weekend’s workshop exploring the chakra colours and how we express those with paint.

Join me on Saturday for a day long workshop where we will create a Work journal and a large painting as we explore responses to the different colours associated with the different chakra points

This is a really beautiful way to explore paint and your response to the different colours there’s no expectation of creating a finished painting as purely play experimentation and discovering your beautiful unique self.

Have a look on my website or DM me if you’d like details. I’ve got two spaces left this Saturday in Newcastle Emlyn.

In this day long workshop exploring the colours of the chakras, we'll journey from grounding reds upwards, exploring how each colour resonates within us.

No artistic experience is needed. Just a willingness to pick up a brush, trust the process, and discover what unfolds.

Understanding the energies associated with the chakra centres can be a powerful creative tool because it gives you different entry points into expression. Instead of trying to “come up with an idea,” you can begin with a felt sense in the body and let that shape what appears on the page or canvas.

I often speak about magic.
Most people think magic means something extraordinary happening to them.
But what if magic is simply:
Paying such close attention that something previously invisible becomes visible.

That's what painting does.
That's what colour does.
That's what these workshops do.

The benefit isn’t that the chakras “cause” creativity — it’s that they offer a map of your inner state while you create. And when you can see that map clearly, you can gently shift yourself back into flow: more grounded, more open, more willing to experiment.

In that sense, creativity becomes less about effort, and more about alignment — noticing where energy is stuck or flowing, and letting colour help move it again.

Thanks for everybody who’s booked so far- we still hve a couple of spaces on the 11th and 18th of July here in West Wales. Have a look at the website or DM me for more details.

A journey through colour, creativity and the wisdom within.

Together we'll explore the colours of the chakras, allowing each one to reveal its own story through paint. As we move upwards through the body's energy centres, we'll create space to notice, release, reconnect and grow.

This isn't about painting the perfect picture. It's about discovering what colour can teach us when we slow down and listen.

No artistic experience required—only a willingness to begin.

My role isn't to tell you what you should discover. It's to create the conditions where you can notice something true for yourself.

This is my philosophy of creative practice. And I'd love to share it with you. 🌈🎨✨

On the 11th and 18th of July I’ve got two in person workshops here in West Wales.

Will be exploring acrylic paint and mark making in our journals and enlarged sheets of Paper. I’ll be using my knowledge of the chakra system and the colours associated with a different chakra points to access creativity a level you might not have experienced before.

If this speaks to you, I would love you to join me and I can’t wait to see what we will create together. This is very exciting time for all of us.

Whoooo summer!

I'm feeling the love for our beautiful West Wales beaches at the moment, where I've been soaking up inspiration, and I have some new "dogs on the beach" prints on the website today to share the joy.

However much I enjoy the beach, no-one quite enjoys a beach like our pups do!

This was a labour of absolute love - choosing 30 paintings from the last 25 years to represent what Pembrokeshire has meant to me over the years - nature's lessons, catholic retreats, friends and family holidays, beautiful fresh food, history, geology, art, snad castles, beach days, long distance walks, solitude, wild winter nights, book writing, women bishops, sadness and frienships. All rolled into my stories, all rolled into these paintings.

- and what a blooming lovely team at the St Davids Visitor Centre - Diolch y Galon x

What a day ☀️
So so pleased to be back home in my lovely cool north facing studio after delivering paintings to St Davids for a solo show at Oriel y Parc Gallery.
Delighted to visit @dead.seacollective shop at St Ds and browse the vinyl - what a gorgeous venture. So cool 🧊🧊

on my way back, it was great to touch base with Isabel @elementsnewport and restock her cards and discuss showing some paintings with her at the nationional Eisteddfod coming to Aberteifi in August.

What a treat it’s been to meet such lovely humans today - including the young chap who dinted my van - no worries - we’ll sort it.

The exhibition is in a round room and features paintings that take you on a journey around Pembrokeshire from Saundersfoot to Poppit Sands.

I’m really excited to see all these paintings together which are from the last 25 years. It’s gonna be a real emotional experience for me, reconnecting with all these places and the memories that the paintings hold. I’m very much looking forward to it.

I’ll post up a video when it’s installed. I hope you enjoy it too.

All of the paintings that are featured are available via the website as print so if there’s one that you like, you know where to look and of course you can always message me.

🌟 This week's inspiration 🌟

ART & LIFE.
COFFEE & CAKE.
MAKING & MENDING.

1. Thought of the week @Equisgarcia - "Dharma Art is the quality of presence a maker brings to their work...." named what I felt when painting and gives a framework for thinking and talking about my work.

2. Matisse. Inspiring me to know when to stop. Not every inch of every painting needs detail. Empty space allows the detailed areas to shine.

3. Seeing my work hanging in the fabulous @yr_hen_printworks

4. Mending. @asolo.official - these boots are my absolute favourites, at least 12 years old and bald on the bottom. I am overjoyed that they are now in Italy, at the manufacturers who offer a resoling service. Can't wait to have them back.

5. Delish coffee in a plant based no plastic cup the made me smile from @bocsdu

6. Birthday pressie from me to me. Just what I wanted, thank you! @edenashramofficial

7. Happy surprise. When a framed print looks even better than the original.
