Colour sets the mood, colour inspires…from the vibrant greens of forests and gardens to the myriad shades of blue of the sky and ocean…the amazing mauves of jacarandas and multicoloured frangipanis in summer to the reds and yellows in autumn and the cool tones of winter to the explosion of colour in spring, life is colourful!
For me colour is about vitality. Living through a Melbourne grey winter can feel draining but as soon as the sun shines and the colours are revealed the emotions come alive again.
Colour, especially in the Australian bush and outback is so striking. The contrasts often between the sky, the land and the vegetation can feel dramatic but also calm. Its an interesting sense that colours enhance

Colour affects my state of mind and mood. The more colour I wear, the more joyful I feel.
