Getting ready to visit an Art Gallery

Some news about my love of art

My mind is full of images, colours and shapes.

I see words in my mind too.

I love to see art objects and paintings.

I never thought I could make art myself.

But thanks to my art mentor and collaborator Heidi,

I now choose colours and brush paint on to paper or canvas.

I like first to express the idea of a painting in words as a poem.

Then Heidi and I try out the colours and shapes.

I have watched videos about art and how to look at paintings.

Now I am getting brave enough to actually visit galleries.

Most surprising--other people like my art

and I have been invited to hang my canvases in art festivals

like the Eden Mills Arts Festival in 2016. See:

I cannot speak with my voice

but I have lots to say.

So I express myself in words and images as poetry

and with paint and shapes as art.
