Is there a country, a city or a town you've been to that changed you forever?

India was it for me. On arrival in New Delhi, my senses accosted from every angle, I was compelled to go with its helter-skelter. I returned home with a clearer sense of purpose, less inhibited than ever before and prepared to host my first solo exhibition ‘Indian Heart Way’.

Indian Heart Way: a collection of 8 paintings, depicting a journey through India via the heart of the journey-maker.

The exhibition was a huge success, art buyers and guests marvelled at the sense of place and time and even smells the paintings evoked for those who had travelled in India. Most sought after was Ganga Dreaming. That little boat on the Holy River aroused much curiosity.

It captures a memory of days spent sailing on the Ganga in a little row boat, camping along its banks in nights full of peace and magic. Quiet days too, occasionally passing groups of colourfully clothed country folk doing their washing along the shore. Kingfishers and dolphin-like creatures appeared to us, while ever-present was the hazy fog that is typical at that time of year.

Night time, equally enchanting, as my ears attuned to the haunting howls of jackals roaming nearby hills and the comforting regularity of tabla drums from a distant camp, as if in worship of the starry heaven above.

After three days we sailed into Varanasi ‘City Of Light’, in time for new year's eve celebrations. Memories I hold dear forever.

Ganga Dreaming, now available as a limited edition giclee print, enshrines these memories in the ripples of the water, the bright sails of the river boat and the curiosity of its destination.

The perfect gift of serenity and wonder for loved ones or a lovely addition to your living room, yoga retreat or workspace.
