Holidays hold their own special type of nostalgia. A demarcation to everyday life, they are not only important to our own personal journeys but also a vital part of our shared life experience with those we love. I create these small watercolour scapes as a record of memorable times away from home. The miniature scenes I paint are like snapshots through the viewfinder of a camera - capturing the essence and energy of a moment rather than its entirety. The movement of watercolour gives each piece the energy of a lived moment. The transparency invokes wistful memory. These small paintings are both fleeting impressions and enduring records at once; an ode to remembering the most special times shared with those we love.
