Glimmer (noun)
A faint or wavering light.
A faint sign of a feeling or quality, especially a desirable one.
In psychology glimmers are small moments of joy or peace that arise from noticing and appreciating everyday things. Tiny moments which can provide our nervous system with a positive shift to feel calm, regulated and safe.
This year has been particularly challenging but thankfully there have also been fleeting moments of comfort and calm too. These paintings hold moments of peace by the sea, moonlight glistening on the dark water, the sunset reflecting off the disco ball in my window, the gently sculpted curves of a pebble picked up on a walk, they are what have guided me through.
I’m really pleased to be able to share these with you and hope you might also find some brightness within the pools of ink.
