This painting reflects the inner peace of mine with melancholy. I feel better when I paint, especially the Chinese meticulous style. The Chinese meticulous style is a painstaking process which helps me focus and meditate. Often the painting is a reflection of my mood at the time. I hope you don’t just see the flowers in a night’s mist, but you are also immersed in the atmosphere. View more Art & Photography published in #TheUoLYellowBook

I feel better when I look after my plants. I currently have three cacti and often decorate them with knitted accessories like this heart shaped balloon. The one photographed here was my companion throughout university and looking after him helped me to look after myself when things became challenging.

I feel better when I travel on my bike. I don’t need anything other than the few things I’m carrying and my legs. I feel better when I feel free. View more Art & Photography published in #TheUoLYellowBook

#ifeelbetterwhen I am behind my sewing machine. In this case, I was sewing together fabric patches to make a baby quilt for a friend. The process of taking pieces of fabric and turning them into something lovely and unique is immensely satisfying, and I love the reaction from recipients who know that whatever I have made has come from the heart and my affection for them.

I feel better when I am sewing. The repetitive motion of the needle through fabric and the tactile nature of the finished product is soothing, and prevents anxiety-induced destructive behaviours. In my experience, mindfulness is more easily achieved through concentration on physical processes like this, and the finished work is a good reminder to be aware of the present moment.

This was my first attempt at painting with watercolour. I was delighted at how it turned out, despite my lack of technique. My impressionistic vase of leaves and flowers makes me happy with it’s colour and the memory of a new beginning. I cannot draw, but I can play with paint – and that always makes me feel better!

I discovered art in my 40s. I always produce landscapes. It’s an absorbing adventure. View more Art & Photography published in #TheUoLYellowBook

Here at the end of the day the shadows have encroached on the land, but over the estuary the sky has turned a clear dark blue contrasting perfectly with the orange of sunset and it’s reflection in the water. Though there is an ending there is also promise in the sky as the new moon rises. This is a moment to cherish. View more Art & Photography published in #TheUoLYellowBook
