Two Unicorns Walk into an Art Gallery…

The lockdown made me forget just how serendipitous human interaction truly can be.

So many new and old friends have been able to reconnect in real life, in real time, in this real art show.

Post-pandemic life feels really special. Human interactions are more precious.

Yesterday, separately, two incredible women came into the gallery and I had the powerful feeling we have always been firm friends and will continue to grow and thrive in each other’s company.

One was photographer Corinna Robertson-Liersch whose parallel and mirroring existence as a glowing parent/artist/multilingual professional made me feel like shouting “HERE YOU ARE!” and the other was creative entrepreneur Vik Toria who also gave me goosebumps by identifying all the invisible threads woven into my paintings and sitting down to play “Nostalgia” to my art based on memory… I felt both seen and FOUND.

The pandemic made me forget how soul enriching new encounters can be, filled with possibility and meaning and I woke up grinning today.

I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere. Two rainbow unicorns walk through a pandemic into an art gallery… The colourful artist feels she’s always known but asks for the first time anyway… “Who are YOU?”…

Paintings in the video are from the IMMENSITIES collection on show at Art Base until Oct 10th 2020.
