Finding hidden gems
For me, the landscape is engaging and inspirational; it changes at every moment, temperature, wind, light colour, texture, nature and sound. It is here I find energy both physically and mentally. During the pandemic, I valued my landscape even more and counted myself lucky I was able to escape frequently for walks along an old disused railway track that runs through trees and farmlands. My body of works comes from this soulful creative place. They are not about perfection, comparison, or fear but one of self-discovery. They are about experimenting, play, gestural mark making, going with the flow, recalling memories, observations and capturing moments and slice of time.
Safle Creu is available for anyone to rest, reflect, create to relax or for other reasons.
We invite you to create artworks which we will use to fill our walls with a sea of creativity. Please feel free to use the art materials provided and it is up to you whether you would like to take your artwork home with you or leave it in the space.
Safle Creu is a space to create, learn and play, so please ask a member of staff if you would like access to the room or further assistance.
