When I was a teenager, I collected elephant statues; by the time I was 18, I must’ve had hundreds. I’ve always adored elephants. There`s something about their grounded presence and quiet wisdom that feels profoundly comforting. I love that they’re matriarchal, that they mourn their dead, that they move through the world with a seeming intelligence and heart.
When Andy and I lived in Sri Lanka for three years, we visited an elephant sanctuary and it was honestly one of the most magical experiences of my life. Watching the gentle connection between carers and elephants moved me deeply. They had a beautiful closeness I silently envied!
So it’s no surprise that elephants have wandered their way into my art again and again. I love painting them both whimsically and realistically. Their shapes are so satisfying to work with: cute chonky feet, soulful eyes, those expressive trunks and giant ears; it’s like they’re built for art! 🎨🖌️
This piece, painted back in 2014, is a special one. I was exploring how to bring more “grunge” and texture into my work; layering deeply, playing with contrasts. The rough, earthy background felt like the perfect contrast to the milky-white skin of the elephant, who gazes out with such a soft, knowing expression. Even here, she seems to whisper: be gentle. be wise. be still.
I hope she brings some of that same quiet comfort to your day, too. 🤍 🐘

While reflecting on the meaning and challenges of life, I stumbled across this old painting of mine from 2014, titled You Shine. It reminded me of a song I once wrote as a teenager, also called You Shine; inspired by a boyfriend I had when I was around 17 or 18. I remember how touching it was to witness someone’s inner light, to catch that quiet glow when they were truly themselves; smiling at something simple, gazing dreamily into the distance, or lost in their favourite hobby.
The phrase `You Shine` (or Shine Your Light) has long been part of my art, and to me, it speaks to the pure, radiant core that lives in all of us.
Sometimes that shine is hard to see; hidden beneath the layers we build to survive, to function, to belong. Life, with all its pressures (especially the grind of capitalism...), can leave us weary and dulled. It can feel as though our shine has been chipped away.
But here’s what I believe in my bones: the shine can never be destroyed. It is eternal. Untouchable. At most, it gets buried beneath a little dust and soot.
This painting is a gentle nudge; a reminder that your shine is still there, no matter what you`re facing today or tomorrow.
How is your soul doing these days? How is your shine?
Mine is still here… a little tired, yes, but glowing quietly, and always ready to rise again.
✨ You shine, my friend. Don’t forget. ✨ ♥️♥️♥️
