Happy Place

Oil on Fabric
100 x 90 cm.
This piece was created by remembering a happy place climbing trees and playing make-believe as a child. Our sense of play growing up can be forgotten as adults with the burden of everyday life. Childhood experiences can often mould us into the adults we become, trauma or issues growing up can feed into our adult life, but we can look to children to teach us about play and how important having fun is, about embracing the wonders of nature and of course, love.
