My time at Brisons Veor was very special, it allowed creative and personal space, something which I have had very little of in the past 20 years as a working mother.
In this magical place my imagination was given space to freewheel. For me, it was as if a door I didn’t know I had, was flung open. I found the stories I had been working on, in a very stilted manner, snatching time when I could, really took flight here. I have rarely felt as free and creatively charged. I turned off my phone, and only used my computer for drafting. I did not use any internet or social media.
The rhythm of the days, the changing light and the beauty of the landscape fed into my work and my soul. Being kind to yourself as a woman, as a human, as an artist is a wonderful gift. I spent hours daydreaming watching the sea, walking the coast path, eating good food and having lovely baths.
