Bookmarks for Thought














Way back before Christmas, when I was standing proudly selling my art at the markets, I created a set of bookmarks which put into words some of the thoughts and feelings behind my paintings.

I get great delight in both writing and painting, so it felt natural to take the images into a poetic form...














I have created words for 5 of my paintings

Listen ...
"Listening to the inner self requires stillness and courage ... sometimes the inner self is wilder that the outer! This is where all first steps begin"

Faith ...
"We can not know what the future holds for us once we take the first step. We must trust... and take the step anyway."

Fly ...
"Once we step out in a leap of faith we often realise that the imagined was much more fearful that reality could ever be."

Balance ...
"True wisdom comes in knowing when to balance the passions of the heart ... with the reason of the head."

Clarity ...
"Sometimes when we search far and wide for the 'answers',we discover that we knew them... all along"
