The observer doesn’t need to understand me, or what I am trying to accomplish, in order to appreciate my work[…]
[…]Art is the focus, Painting is the tool, Good Vibes are the message’

Excerpt from Hayley Stewart:
“Experiencing the sublimity of nature and participating in mind-expanding activities which engage the body and free the mind are the foundation of Hayley Stewart’s work. Her most recent paintings – vivid atypical landscapes – highlight nature’s intricacies with a bold palette, smooth colour blending and concise brushstrokes.
Painting allows Hayley to leap the barriers of language and share the abundance of inspiration she feels when immersed in nature. The mountains & ocean are her continuing education.”
