When you buy a piece of original art, you're buying so much more than something beautiful to hang on your wall.

In this episode of The Artists' Table, I explore the connection between artists, their work and the people who choose to live with it.

Every painting carries a story. Sometimes it's the artist's experience, sometimes it's an emotion captured on canvas, and sometimes it's something entirely personal that the collector sees in the work.

I share my thoughts on choosing original art, trusting your emotional response and why the story behind a painting can make it even more meaningful.

Whether you're an experienced collector or thinking about buying your first original artwork, this episode is an invitation to look beyond the colours and composition and discover what truly connects you to a piece.

What happens when you pick up a paintbrush for the first time at 50?

In this episode of The Artists' Table, I share how I discovered painting while raising capital for my technology startup, The Room Xchange, and how something that began as a creative outlet eventually changed the direction of my life.

Painting gave me balance through the pressures of building and running a business. What I didn't realise at the time was that I was also creating the foundations for an entirely new chapter.

From my first painting to exhibitions, commissions and eventually mentoring other artists, I reflect on what happens when you allow yourself to explore something new, regardless of your age.

Because sometimes the things we do simply because we love them become far more important than we ever imagined.
