Guan Qi Art: Exploring Creativity and Family Life in the Heart of the UK Countryside
Living in the English countryside, we are blessed to be surrounded by the beauty of nature, which serves as the heart of our creative process. From the morning songs of birds to the soothing breeze and vibrant green landscapes, our environment continually inspires us. The ever-changing scenes, from drifting clouds to tranquil skies, provide a sense of freedom that nurtures our spirits. In this idyllic setting, we are often delighted by the sight of squirrels, foxes, rabbits, hedgehogs, and even wild deer — creatures that add charm and whimsy to our everyday life.
Our family’s creativity is deeply influenced by the simple yet meaningful moments that nature offers. Whether it’s the graceful appearance of a rainbow after a rainstorm or the harvest from my husband’s vegetable garden, these experiences spark our artistic expressions. In fact, double rainbows frequently appear in the sky above our home after a rainfall, adding a magical touch to our surroundings. The abundant harvest from my husband’s garden is also a constant reminder of the beauty of life’s cycles. Through painting, music, and storytelling, we transform these natural elements into works that resonate with the soul.
Parent-Child Creativity: Collaboration and Support within the Family
Every member of our family plays a vital role in our creative journey. My eldest daughter, Rosemary, is a gifted artist with a beautiful voice. Her talent brings brilliance to our projects, and her purity, creativity, and passion remind us of the very essence of art.
Our younger daughter, Sugar, has always had a vivid imagination, even from a very young age. She continually surprises us with her creative ideas, often offering fresh perspectives that make us appreciate the beauty in the simplest things. Her voice in our family is an important reminder to always value and respect the thoughts and opinions of children.
While my husband is less involved in the actual creation of our works, his unwavering support is essential to our process. He strengthens the foundation of our family by managing responsibilities at home and offering understanding. His steady presence ensures that we have the peace of mind and space to focus on our creative projects. His vegetable garden, which thrives in the same nurturing environment, reflects the deep bond we share with nature.
Family Love and Companionship: A Source of Joy
Our family extends beyond humans to include our beloved pets — our dog, Tiantang, and our golden hamster, Cui Xishi. They are more than just companions; they bring joy and energy to our daily life. Whether tending to the garden or simply enjoying each other’s company, their presence brings us closer together, adding to the warmth of our creative environment.
During moments of creative work, we find comfort and inspiration from our pets. Their companionship allows us to relax and unwind, and often, their presence sparks fresh ideas. For us, the love and support from both family and animals are an integral part of our creative process.
The Future of Guan Qi Art: Spreading Love and Warmth
Guan Qi Art is more than just a brand; it represents a way of life. Through our creations, we aim to share warmth and love with more families, encouraging parents and children to explore the joys of creation together. Art is not just about expressing inner thoughts; it’s about sharing love, joy, and experiences with those we hold dear.
As we continue on this journey, we look forward to collaborating with others who share our vision. I believe in the infinite power of art to bring happiness, inspire creativity, and strengthen the bonds between families.
