How it all started.

The Art Soothe was created out of a need to occupy my mind at a time when my mind was starting to wander in the worse kind of way. I am all for creative wandering but it was at a point in my life that I was struggling with my situation, my environment, my thoughts, my intentions and my personal aims in life.

So at that precise moment when things were getting risky and my heart was feeling low and heavy, I made the decision to buy some paper and some watercolor pencils from a supermarket and to start drawing and simply let my hands create. I ended up creating a sequence piece of colourful tropical leaves.

It consumed me. Seeing all these colours appear on paper by my own hand was revitalising and it brought back so many joyful memories of when I was an art student back in Seychelles. How art classes were a time to zone out and simply have fun and create.

Most people agree that in this day and age you need a hobby to stop you from going crazy with all the stress and anxiety the "modern" world has placed on us.

Painting is just you and some tangible objects combined to create something new and more importantly.... it flows from part of your consciousness.

This is one part of the trio of leaves mural
