All the Light We Can See

 

 

Maureen’s original inspiration started with Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’. The same whirls swirls, and energy are seen from and around lighthouse in the sky, seas, and weather. We constantly see a kaleidoscope of light and colours, day and night, impacting our mood and wellbeing. Artists

have been inspired by nature, charts, thermal imaging and satellite images, and the 4 light quarters show beauty in disorder and order. The artist felt that Lemn Sissay’s new wonderful poems would add a wonderful narrative. Luckily he has allowed Maureen to use them in her artwork. During Maureen’s work in the RNLI she redeveloped the Grace Darling museum in Northumberland and learnt a lot about the isolation, beauty and joy of living in a lighthouse.
