Life is often so busy that it doesn’t leave so much time for moments of peace. I’ve noticed in myself and the people around me that a lot of us live in a constant state of stress, always worrying about what’s next and forgetting to take a moment to notice the beautiful moments.

My paintings focus on nature as that is the beauty I notice most often, and I hope that painting these moments will show why they are important. Sometimes a moment sitting in the grass feeling the breeze is just as important as facing the troubles you have, as you need those moments of peace and happiness to give you the strength to help you through.

For my degree show I wanted to create reminder to notice those small beautiful moments.
