Inspired by the beautiful colour scheme, background line work and gorgeous blossom, positioned just so, in @Sharmyn Crawford ’s piece.
For me this is about childhood memories and fancy, combined with adult experiences and how they both mesh together. I just loved fairy stories when I was young and was convinced that I could see fairies and talk to them and that they were everywhere in nature. As a young adult I travelled to Japan and loved the reverence for nature and how the motifs of blossoms and flowers were woven into daily life. It was also my first experience of seeing snow there, and it was a truly magical experience to hold a fully formed snow flake on my fingertip. The delicacy, magic and beauty that surrounded me, both as child and adult, is something I try to remember.
