Golden Tears is an original painting by Pixie Willoughby. The predominant colour is gold - symbolic of positive, golden times, the darker lines show that the journey is not an easy one. It has its dark moments, its battles. A pallet knife was used to create the tears - the years it takes to get to where you want to be.

Pixie Willoughby artist with Wychwood Art. Born in Lincolnshire in 1972, Pixie qualified from Lancaster University in 1994, with BA hons QTS in English Literature and Theatre Studies. For the next 26 years, she taught primary aged children in schools located in the UK, Portugal and Thailand. Whilst teaching in Thailand, Pixie developed her love and interest in art. In 2012, she was commissioned to paint 99 paintings for the bedrooms of a hotel in Pattaya, Thailand. Following this success, Pixie retired from teaching and returned to the UK to focus full time on her art. When Pixie is not painting, she is training for triathlons. Having completed an Ironman in 2018, this has fuelled her belief that anything is possible. "I believe art is creation. It's in the rustling trees, it's in the air we breathe, it's in the songs we sing, it's in everything. I am proud of my art as it has a voice. It speaks to me, it speaks for me. It reveals my heart and my soul. I hope my art speaks to others too. That it comforts and confronts, that it challenges and questions, that it demands all and nothing. My art is my books, my music, my history and the history of others. " To discuss any paintings by Pixie Willoughby please call 07799 535765 or email deborah@wychwoodart.com.
