Art Through The Dark

Hi my name is Kate…my family call me ‘Magoo’

(yes after the cartoon character Mr. Magoo with

the squinty eyes but let’s not go there)
 

I live in Bangor Co. Down with my husband and our dog ‘Blake'. He’s crazy (the dog I mean) and his energy forces us to spend a lot of time outside, which is great for the soul!
A few years ago I became a casualty of anxiety which became very detrimental to my everyday living. On my 40th birthday I was given an art easel; I hadn’t lifted a paintbrush for over a decade but found the process very therapeutic.
 

I have always been a little obsessed with quotes and a great believer in keeping a record of them, as words are easily forgotten! I would stick these references on a piece of paper to my fridge or keep them tucked in my purse… reading these often helps shift my mindset into a better place.
 

This inspired me to form a body of Art work combining the natural world and happy words. So treat yourself or a friend to a little piece of ‘Art’ that may help you ‘through the dark’.
Keep smiling.
Magoo x
