My Art

The little girl at the start of this video has always been the creative girl. If I also shared the artwork that is carefully saved in a little box this video would be even longer.

That time my artwork went all the way to Canada for a free art initiative. The happiness and smile on this man's face. That got me thinking of an idea.

My artist and community part of me, Tiny Gatherings used to be Stitcha Co. From cushions, to lampshades, with a seagull sculpture in-between, travels have time for surfboard art and time in the outdoors in all weathers and how many more travels are not shown here. Christmas markets and tiny needlefelted robins. Cards and hand warmers. In-between a little girls dress or two. The list goes on. Then Tiny Spaces came and this artists work turned into podcasts and sustainable interiors, curtains, cushions and more.

The artist in me has always been there, even in the form of acting , performance, storytelling. A talent I never understood was my asset until a teacher saw something special in me and taught me everything she knew, strengthened my craft and pushed me in directions I didn't know I was capable of. Headshots come, extra work comes, agent submissions come. Producing, writing the artist continues.

Community and bringing people together, connecting in person with Wild Voices and Proffesional networking. Each adapted craft blossoms. Curate's and creatively blooms.

So now the skills are well crafted and like a huge box of chocolates that often melt together.

Acting, storytelling is always the fire, producing an expedition film, pre developing a TV series, working on writing a book, expedition reports for the RGS , painting, stitching, exhibiting, bringing community together through storytelling.

Remembering all those pieces I did before and all that is to come.

Never stop creating , whatever rollercoaster comes your way always go back to that artist in you, what makes you happy, what feeds your soul and what drives your personality for it's a rare one and inspired others even when you don't realise it.

Keep being beautifully curious, filled with love, and passionate. For we need more more more in this world. by @nicol.eah

This time last year I was making the final route plans for my journey. My first expedition walking the three islands Approximately 130 miles / 210km around or through a route planned to walk me around the three islands of Malta.

And I've just realised 8th October when I speak at @polyfalmouth ticket links in bio was the day before I finished this time last year and I was texting my parents saying Mum and Dad I made it , I did it.

I called this walk , Walking at a Human Pace. And I can't wait to share personal video footage and Photos of the real beauty of Malta.

A land that teaches you when you allow it to slow down. To celebrate past trauma. To find connections with locals. Wise elders. Look up more. Observe nature, lizards , flora and fauna, scale cliff tops and only just dodge being struck by lightning. Never have I grabbed a stranger for a hug so quickly. Embracing the simplicity in life and what walking from A to B each day teaches us.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

There will be an informal gathering after where you can meet and grab a coffee or drink from the @polycafeandbar to celebrate the launch of a monthly series of Wild Voices : Stories from The Modern Explorer taken in Poly Falmouth by @nicol.eah

Redirection , love this word. My artwork has taken many mediums and many redirections and grown along the way, different periods in life and different forms. Recently delving into oil paintings. With work being created since my last expedition, drawing on landscape , nature and the people I met along the way. I am excited to continue to explore oils but also bring back my free machine embroidery and see what redirection my art takes me in. The seagull sculpture is still my proudest piece that makes me smile. by @nicol.eah

As the weather slowly changes into a new season. A little and old photo makes me smile. There's something wonderful about saying I Got You, Honey but there's something evenmore wonderful about saying I Got Me too. Projects are flowing like the ocean tide, always intrigued to see which one completes first. Sending that glowing smile your way on a Sunday. by @nicol.eah

Reminding myself to breeze through life. To think this time last year I was training not for acting, or a performance of any kind. Sourcing agents or finding my way around the professional pitching industry. But by walking beautifully and simply from A- B daily around three Maltese islands.

This moment was taken after a long day, delayed by public transport for my team's arrival. And an extended day of walking that did not stop at my planned lunchtime but at sunset. Yet the moment captured is of a pure smile. Nothing but joy. In a world where trials and tribulations are thrown at us. It just shows there are always ways to smile in the storm.

Location Gozo and the beautifully known Dwejra Bay with 140 metre cliffs waiting to scale the next day.

This autumn I look forward to settling down some mornings and writing the second half of my book.

What is a beautiful soul ...
Many years ago photographers used to Photoshop or airbrush without question. Did we need airbrushing. No. I can safely say I have many more wrinkles now and I have always loved them. Just like how freckles are like the stars in the night sky the most beautiful markings. Wrinkles have been earnt , through difficult times and through the happiest of moments and memories. We walk, we talk, we breath. But we must live. We must share with passion inside and out, be kind to those around us, treat eachother with respect and laugh. For laughter is a magic potion that is free and lifts our bodies and our minds. It's the human who dances as the sun rises and as the sun sets. Who spins around like they are four years old. And sings out of the top of their lungs to the ocean and mountains whether they can sing or not. Wrinkles, don't get rid of them. Be proud of them. You earned them and you are beautiful.

When your view looks like a painting and when you go and do what makes you happy. I've got a little lost in some ways and looking back I see what keeps me grounded alongside incredible friends and family. It's this ... Nature and the outdoors. Having a little dance, a little laugh, a little sing, walking and creating. I've been called unique and amazing for thinking outside the box or my way of life. I've been told I'm the most beautiful wild woman. That wild woman should be cherished with every essence. But honestly the best way to fill your cup up is to go out there. Camp under the stars. See shooting stars. Love, be passionate and laugh. Smile at strangers and say hello ,you might make another person's day. For the wild woman is anything but only exotic she is beauty inside and out. You get to have everything and I am so lucky to know that those sunrises and sunsets are always engrained as we head into a new week I encourage you when you can to switch off and get outside in the elements and be you, be beautifully you and find your little wild. by @nicol.eah
