Summer seems to be a time of contemplation. Everything slows down a bit. There is no rush in the heat of the day anymore. Brushstrokes are softer. So it seems in my creative world. I just got an invitation to my friends opening in Switzerland. For many years she has been my art teacher in Switzerland, she inspired me to see the human body (of any shape) as sacred, she brought dancers to the studio to teach us to capture movements with speedy brushes, she went outside with us to indulge in the colours of a vibrant city, through her I enhanced my ability to see colours everywhere. She inspired me to find my own creative voice, to not give up, to stay on track, to push boundaries, to be myself, and to try harder. She always kept true to herself.
