I've loved painting, writing, reading and creating from a very early age.
Spending time in nature were my happiest days, in the Cornish fields around my home. Time with the birds, the beetles, the cows, the flowers...reading, writing, loving the silence, space and the earth and grass beneath me and the wind and air around me.
As a Happy Sensitive (HSP) I've learned to love my sensitivity and recognise the receptivity and awareness this allows. The sensory process is very much a part of this style of intuitive painting.
Celebrating all senses ... painting from silence ... and connecting with the essence of light and space and 'Isness' we all are, beyond our human form and personality.
Also painting to music, expressing and flow through the body, in paint and colour, mark and texture is beautiful to me.
Allowing all to unfold in this way is a joyous metaphor for living and is very much how painting, art, poetry and life are intertwined and one for me.

I have a beautiful 14 year-old son and he has taught me more that I can say!
(Although I did write a bit about it here :))

I taught English Literature in schools, college and privately for 14 years and have also created an art business 'Rowena Scotney Feltings'.
My art business is doing happily well, and I love working with ethical wools to create works inspired by poetry, nature and wildlife!

Painting came more to the fore for me a few years ago, as a natural healing process and it has been wonderful to share this with others in a safe group online,
as a joyful spiritual practice which also combines meditation and sharing different wellbeing modalities.
Initially I was afraid to make the first mark on a canvas - I'd forgotten how I was when painting and writing alone as a child.

Taking the course 'A Year of Healing' by Alena Hennessey was also hugely instrumental,
helping with confidence, experimenting and creating a daily practice as well as learning beautiful new techniques and sharing with others from all around the world.
This helped so much in allowing my own authentic voice and expression to emerge.

On learning and evolving...

'Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.'
