I've always been drawn to the beauty of quiet art – the kind of art that whispers rather than shouts, and invites contemplation rather than demands attention. As a child, I would sit amongst my sister and cousins (I have a big family!) and I was almost always the quietest one, sitting in the corner, colouring in or building something from scratch in my own little world. I think the desire to find solace amidst all the noise led me to how I work today. My art practice has taken the form of creating with natural earth minerals, slowly, carefully selecting and processing them to reveal their subtle beauty.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jenny Muñoz, the founder of The Nomad Salon, last month. As an advocate for emerging and mid-career female artists, Jenny is dedicated to elevating their profiles and offering guidance and support. With her strong moral compass, she ensures that any artists she works with are treated fairly and with respect.

I was thrilled to be interviewed by Jenny, discussing my artistic practice and career. We delved into topics such as sustainable art practices, the inspiration behind my earth-mineral paints, and the motivations behind my work.

As we face the rising issue of climate change, it’s important to recognise the effect our everyday decisions have on the environment, including those made in the art world. With the rise of eco-friendly materials and practices, we are now well-equipped to create sustainable and environmentally conscious art. In this post, I'll delve into how to make our practices more sustainable, exploring the benefits of eco-friendly materials and how they can inspire change.
