ABOUT ME

I am not sure what to share for you to better understand my artistic creations, but it is said that our life’s journey colours who we are and therefore by extension I suppose, our art.

If that is so, what does knowing of my journey’s beginnings in the northern climes of Canada to my present magical lifestyle in subtropical Bahamas, bring to my art?

Does knowing that I journeyed from corporate life at Sara Lee to the secluded Adagio Beach Cottage and Gallery on Grand Bahama Island give insight into my work?

Does the fact that I am a self taught artist continuing my artistic development with international teachers in a variety of mediums show in my work?

Does knowing that whether making a meal from what is at hand or creating my “Artistry in Handmade Paper” from paper we recycle and flowers, leaves and seaweed that we collect from our landscape, show my devotion to tapping into that which is around me for my artistry?

Or will it suffice to say that I am delighted that the journey continues everyday with nature, actually REUSING nature, being THE source for my artistic inspiration. My creative energies are stirred when I experiment with that which may be considered discards from the environment, seaweed washed on the shore, clippings from the garden hedge or dead leaves and flowers on the ground. I attempt with my artworks to bring pleasure and a feeling that all is well with the world. This may not be the reality but just the process of making the paper artistry and being in the moment makes it so for me AND I WANT TO SHARE THAT FEELING through my art.

ENJOY

Del Foxton
