Festival Art - LIVE Painting This Summer

Last weekend I had the treat of joining a whole ‘army’ of artists all painting together at a music festival. There was over 70 artists - young and old, professionals and newbies, with a breadth of style and medium all gathered in a big blue tent in the middle of a field in West Sussex.

Focussing on the creative process

Being an abstract artist my artwork is very much inspired by music and dance, so soaking in this type of creatively encouraging atmosphere, being able move and express myself without inhibition gives way to a heightened focus on the creative process, over the need for a certain outcome or specific result.

Where my journey as an artist began

I actually consider this festival as my birthplace as an artist - 5 years ago I turned up never having painted on a canvas before with lots of fear, lots of hang ups and lots of enthusiasm. And I’ve never looked back!
