About Me
I’m a software engineer with a keen passion for creating art. I enjoy bringing works to life in all sorts of media, and have a particular interest in watercolour and laser cutting. Where possible, I love combining the two disciplines to create one-of-a-kind pieces!
This blog has been around for years and grown and changed with me. Once, the main goal was to share rough or unfinished pieces to get out of art-block. Now, those types of posts tend to appear on my social media accounts, and posts here tend to be longer dives into things.
About “Proairesis”
A number of years ago when I wanted to name my website, I flipped through my mother’s trusty, old, tattered dictionary. This dictionary contains a number of archaic words but also has some interesting spins on word definitions. My eye landed on Proairesis, defined as “the act of choosing”.
For someone who often finds making decisions quite difficult, I thought it an interesting name. At the time I tried to find more about the word and its etymology but didn’t find much. Now, you can find out about the concept of Prohairesis at our good friend, Wikipedia.
Over time and as I’ve consolidated my branding, I’ve taken over the “Chenonetta Creations” name that used to cover everything on the chenonetta.com domains. Now, “Proairesis” may only exist in old references here and there.
