🌸 A Return to Colour 🌸

After five years, I’m so excited to share my first large collection of new original paintings—15 works inspired by spring, light, and the little joys that make life sparkle.

The solo show is at my niece’s gallery in Cardigan, and it feels so special to see her vision and hard work come alive. 💛

✨ Preview & Artist Talk: Saturday 28th March, 5–6:30pm
Come and see the paintings, explore my sketchbooks, and share in a gentle evening of colour, conversation, and connection.

I’d love to welcome you, whether to pause and look, chat, or simply soak in the spring energy. 🌿

Creativity is Contagious - Pass it on.

What does inspiration look like?

Love this photo from my 2023 painting trip to Nice.
So many of the artists who inspire me were also inspired by the light, the mountains, the sea, the people, the ambiance of the south of France.

Chagall, Matisse, Picasso ... all of these weave their inspiration through my work. It's great to think that I, too can pass on inspiration....

Join me for my 6 week online Art Class, starts next Wednesday, link in bio ;-)

hey folks, how are you doing today?
it’s Raining Again here in West Wales, and it would be easy to think oh no, blooming rain, and feel a little sad about it.

But catching that thought is the thing. And choosing a replacement. Thoughts become actions, and actions become us.

And so in art, I encourage class members to notice and verbally remark upon the colours, lines, passages that light them up, their ‘yeses’ and also to notice their thoughts when the painting doesn’t go as they wish. Our thoughts create our reality - but they are not our reality - we have the opportunity, every moment to define that reality.

and I thought I was just going to show you some yellow-themed paintings for a little uplift and enjoyment🤣😊🎨

These paintings and prints are available on my website as are details of my upcoming 6 week online art class

@bathartfair - here I am in Bath - a long way from West Wales, but what a treat. It’s so easy to stay at home in the studio and make paintings. But it’s so good to push myself come out and see original Art and the artists that created the Art in real life.
Such an experience to see which art I gravitate to, what attracts me as well as which art I’m not personally attracted to- it really helps define me as an artist and my genre.

It’s also great to buy new pieces for my home and to create the environment that I want to live in.
As I like to say ‘curate your art, curate your life’. Elevate your space folks😘 buy art from living artists @bathartfair Saturday 28 & Sunday 29

With thanks to @alceharfield @paul_browne_artist @banksysmumbristol 😘😘🤣

"it is such a privilege to have the opportunity to listen to, watch you and learn from you. I think what I especially love is the ‘spiritual’, the thought-provoking aspect of your teaching. Your psychologist background tips in too. So wise.
Every time I join you I absorb/ understand a bit more!
I have such fun in your sessions and come from them bubbling. They make me happy!
Honestly, I wax lyrical to my fellow painters about our sessions!
And aren’t we lucky to have such lovely people on the chat.
Thank you ❤️❤️"

Step into your new life .....

My 6-week transformation Art Class spring term starts 18th March.

"I just want to say thank you Helen, I am very grateful to you for your time and sharing of your experience during the last 6 weeks of the course, it’s been quite life changing.
I have been wanting to start painting for some years and had accumulated quite a lot of materials, but not quite been able to actually start, some practical barriers and lots of mental/emotional barriers.
I chose your course because I bought your book some years ago and I recognised your ability to remove obstacles to creativity, foster confidence in an explosion of colour, just what I needed!
I feel like I have stepped into my new life and can keep going, but I think it’s very likely that I will join you for the next season of classes. Thank you so much x" Jackie - Jan/Feb art class alumni

Last night I was on a call with a group of artists and coaches and the amazing @georginanoeleft and we discussed how sometimes artists can feel that they 'should' be doing a 'proper' job.

I'd previously written a blog post in my studio journal (link in comments)about this and offer this reflection to you:

On a deeper level, art isn’t just about making something beautiful — it’s about lifting the frequency at which we live as human beings.

When we create simply for the joy of it — not for approval, not for productivity, not for outcome — but for the quiet satisfaction it brings us, something shifts. Our energy rises. We feel lighter, more open, more ourselves. And that change doesn’t stay contained. It radiates outward.

Like a lighthouse, that inner joy sends out a beam. It reaches the people around us. It softens a room. It changes conversations. It influences families, communities, and quietly — steadily — the wider world.

This is why I teach painting and creativity. Not because art is decorative or indulgent, but because it genuinely elevates people. When someone reconnects with their creative spark, they become happier, more present, more hopeful. And happier people create happier environments. That ripple continues far beyond the canvas.

So please never believe that art is trivial or a waste of time. The visible, practical, hands-on actions in life matter deeply — of course they do. But some of us are here to make a difference in quieter ways. To shift energy. To illuminate possibility. To show that raising the human spirit is powerful work.

And that work matters more than we often realise.

ahhh 7 years ago!!
I won Gold Award "best tourist attraction" in Carmarthenshire - me LOL!!!! How things change.

Looking at this memory, I have some reflections to share. Success means different things to us all. My idea of success has changed radically in the last 7 years, and although I still get a small 'must be in the rat race' niggle occaisionally, I have give myself top marks for successfully stepping back from the 'full on must achieve' paradigm, to a heart-centred in the present way of living🙏

Then ... I felt I had a lot to prove
🔴 I chased every opportunity
🔴 Accepted all commissions and collaborations that were offered
🔴 Employed 8 staff
🔴 Taught at schools and adult classes
🔴 Attended international shows and residencies
🔴 Always looked for the next big project
🔴 and paid a f'ing huge amount in VAT and taxes......

Now
I have nothing I want to prove
🍃 I wait for invitations that excite me
🍃 only accept shows and commissions that feel juicy
🍃 carefully consider offers and collaborations
🍃 say no, thank you, quite often
🍃 feel fully content, with no desire to achieve or prove myself
🍃paint every day, meditate and walk my dog
🍃teach only in small groups, no more than could 'fit around my table'
🍃 have more time, money, and energy for the things that really matter.

And no, I'm not selling anything, but if you're interested in exploring art and creativity as a way of shifting gears to a less 'succstressful' life, then my small workshops maybe for you.❤️

💥The Year of the Fire Horse💥
whoa yeah!!!

This week marks the transition from the Chinese year of the Wood Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse (beginning February 17). An exciting change from quiet, internal introspection to rapid, fiery action, personally and on the world stage.

As a 60-year cycle, the Fire Horse is considered a rare, high-energy, and often tumultuous period that demands movement, independence, and bold decision-making. Bring. It. On💥🙏

More than this, and importantly, whilst this high, fast-moving energy is with us, it's a time appreciating being anchored into our personal strength and focus, grounding and becoming mindful of what supports us. For me, that is mediation, my art practice and connection with like-minded souls.

Throughout this exciting and turbulent time, I'm committed to supporting people develop their art practice as a way of being mindful and centred.
News coming soon about a series of 1 day, 4 day and 6-week sessions.

Happy New Year!

Here's my intuited painting for this transition.
Energised, textured and nuanced, weaving symbolism and intuition, my love of horses, gold and grey.

Acrylic on board, framed in a classic vintage frame.
Framed size 69 x 59 cm.
Available, DM me

In Art, it’s okay to make an initial mark change your mind. To improve it, to feel into what is being asked of you and to make the next move in accordance to what feels good. Works in life too 😉

Because without art collectors, there would be no art,
and without art ... well ....

Honestly? A world without art would still function.
We’d have houses but no sense of home.
Language, but no poetry to stretch it.
Facts, but no meaning.
Art is how humans remember who they are.
It’s our emotional archive.
Before we had science, we had cave paintings.
Before psychology, we had myth, ritual, pattern.
Art is the original tool for making sense of being human.

Without it:
Joy would have no echo.
Inner worlds and connections would stay locked inside us.
Art doesn’t decorate life — it integrates.
It translates invisible, internal emotions, intuitions, memories, connections, spirit, into something shared.

Art communicates.
It’s how one soul speaks to another across time.
And quietly, it does something else that we need:
Art slows us down enough to feel.
To notice.
To remember.
To recollect.
To dream.

In a world without art, we'd survive — but we wouldn’t be reflected.
And without reflection, humanity loses its depth.
Which is why art matters more than most people realise.

Paintings are not just pictures.
They shape our inner weather.
They are places to rest our eyes and
regulate our nervous systems.
They give form to something we feel but can’t name.

So, friends, buy the flowers, the gift of love 🩷

************

All these paintings are one-off originals, unframed on board, canvas or paper. All are ready for immediate delivery, so will be with you well before the weekend.
All £300 and under.

If you'd like one, or two - message me and send you a link to buy.

Love love xx

The great skill of Artists is tenacity. Having ideas and then having the tenacity to keep going at them going at them and going at them and never using the F word - failure.

Just another interesting example of the way in which art and art practice teaches us about life ✨

I’ve been buying myself flowers recently 💕💕

And I’ve been doing lots of sketches of them. Paper whites and posh tulips.🥰 I do love this time of year before spring properly starts outside but you can find these kind of flowers to energise the room.

Here’s the latest sketches. They’re all available now. If you’d like one - the big moon one is £295 and the flower ones are £195. DM me if you’d like one of these beauties.��😘😘

You may be familiar with Matisse's famous series of paintings and cut-outs 'La Danse' - well when I painted these pups living their best lives on the beach at Poppit, West Wales, all that was in my mind was the circular, swirling dance that Matisse created with his dancer - well here's my version - meet "La danse du chien" — a signed, titled and numbered limited edition print, now on my new, and almost ready website: https://wix.to/YHsu5oP

What do artists do all day?

Well, whatever makes them happy really. Sounds ideal? It is!

For me this morning being happy involved getting up early and reviewing last night‘s paintings, walking my beautiful dog, meditating.
Then planning an exhibition that’s coming up in March with @oriel_cardi_bach, updating my website and now - having coffee and saying hello and good morning to you lovely people💕

Pretty good start of the day I think - being as happy as possible 💕🎉✨✨✨

New Year, New Sketch Book, playing with ideas, gathering thoughts and inspiration

Valuing the simple things: easy, flowing lines, limited colours, pared back winter landscapes, and the sheer joy of taking the masking tape off and seeing the contrast of the sharp, neat line against the loose brush strokes.

Annnd a few more from the archive, 1998 ish I think. Oil pastel on paper.

I adore oil pastels, and when we had a small art shop in Aberteifi, one of the first things I did was stock it with the complete range of Sennelier oil pastels. You can imagine ..... I was like a kid in a sweet shop.

Tomorrow I am going to get the oil pastels out again - it has been about 20 years since I used them... they still work perfectly, that's amazing.

So - yes the new website is taking shape, and the full archive will be available to view 1st February .... I just love a deadline!
