About BuBu

 

                             

 

 

BuBu Blossom was born out of inspiration...and my love of all things creative. A place where all of my experience and latent gifts and talents have come together.

A combination of my paintings, drawings, love of colour, texture and photography with a connection to loving often healing words has become my signature style. Putting these into 'form' has been my most challenging but rewarding journey. One that has encouraged me totally to be myself. And that has part of my inspiration for the name of BuBu.

BuBu has many meanings. My dear Greek friend said to me one day "You're such a Bubu!". I had no idea what it meant. She explained it was Greek  for a beautiful woman who had it 'going on'...that particular day I had my flower shoes on, a flower in my hair and a floral handbag. I loved the sound of the name and it felt like there was a connection to my love of feminine beauty.

Since then I found another meaning I connected to.The Egyptian translation ~ giving light.  I feel this is the essence of BuBu, the core.

Whilst I was considering BuBu as a business name, my husband asked me how to spell it. B U B U. (be you be you) and that was the confirmation I was looking for. And blossom, well that is a word that describes childhood memories, my love of flowers, spring and natural beauty.

 

The decision to create this way was a deep urge to expand my creativity and use the knowledge that I have gained over the years. Studying Visual arts, painting since 2002, absolutely loving mixed media collage and studying Perceptive Astrology. How was it meant to all come together? It also was a time where we had just moved from our home town, into a brand new, all white rental home. I felt I couldn't be splashing my usual paint around the place and headed to the computer where my creative debri was minimual.

  I choose to start anew with Bubu.I continue to paint, journal and teach, which endlessly inspires my creations here.
