Shinrin-Yoku is the Japanese art of forest bathing, the simple practice of therapeutic relaxation in the forest, focusing on sensory engagement with nature. Time hiking on our wonderful Island causes me to slow down, still my mind, breathe deeply and really take everything in: the sounds, the smells and the interplay of colours enhanced by light filtering through the tree canopy and the winter rain or mist.

Mixed media - analog and digital collage, including my photography; acrylic paint and mediums; finished with cold wax and oil.
