Part of my new series ‘Perfectly Unbalanced’ which I created only with my non dominant right hand following a ski injury. Created with a leaf that my 6 year old picked up in nature and brought home for me, acrylic paint, oil pastel and pencils. This body of work is a celebration of being resilient and fearless when life presents us with challenges. Using my non-dominant hand, I explored these moments of adaptation through bold and intuitive brushstrokes, new colours and new textures from sand and leaves. Not being in control allowed a very liberated and authentic expression of triumph over what seemed impossible to begin with. This artwork and the other 5 can be viewed on my website veredbrett.com
