'In The Haven' (100x100cm, white wood framed to 110x110cm, acrylic on canvas)
Much of my work is influenced by writing; I took the title of this painting from a poem by Goethe. I love this idea of nurturing safety and friendship, gathering your friends around you as you plot your next steps, and jump into the unknown.
‘Waiting fav'ring winds, I sat with true friends round me,
Pledging me to patience and to courage,
In the haven.’
- Goethe
