I do not paint real scenes or situations as a photographic camera would capture, although I attempt to paint reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of my work is intuitive, opening with a vision often upon a waking moment, followed by a desperate scribble into a sketchbook. An imaginary stage is conceived, personifying a piece de resistance of nature, and with a little pain, much patience and a whole lot of joy my next painting is born. I liken my paintings to children, the bond formed during the process of creation is strong, and they feel like loved ones when I send them out into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmplifying the compassion and warmth of these heart-filled creatures, who live in the moment, I verge into portraiture. Placing Tui and Piwakawaka upon pedestals, I admire their wisdom and integrity through stories and legends which have been told. I introduce objects of sentimental value to reflect their importance in an attempt to bring awareness of their fragile existence, an ongoing essence throughout my work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light\" - Joseph Campbell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust as even the smallest candle burns brighter in the dark, out of the darkness emerge my creatures of light and light-heartedness.\" - Jane Crisp 2013\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Image Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52876904005948,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1397\/8163\/files\/46B16E3F-F098-47C2-9BF7-126404A846AC.jpg?v=1773632796","url":"https:\/\/www.cre8iveworx.co.nz\/products\/card-she-of-the-kowhai-tree-jane-crisp","provider":"Cre8iveworx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
