A Lion's Heart

Original acrylic painting on board 

120 x 80 x 5cm

To be strong at heart. A dandelion is a celestial celebration - the yellow flower represents the sun , the puff ball of the plant represents the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars. They have many healing properties and health benefits .. but yet many people dismiss then as annoying weeds.

Hayley considers herself a painter and an illustrator who enjoys telling visual stories through her art. After the practical restraints of using clay artistically for so many years she loves the freedom of painting. To paint has been her true calling and an essential part of her creativity. Hayley's work strives for a connection with the viewer. To tell a relatable story is the intrinsic goal. Inspiration comes from life experiences, relationships and being consciously child like, trying to see without any knowing is her goal, recording interactions that will later be scribbled into her sketchbook. Being a naturally curious person and delving into other worlds through books, films and conversations, ideas emerge that she then works on to become a painting.
