Just applying the paint.
It feels quite organic and I'm definitely going to pursue this idea a little further.

This doesn't even occur to me anymore as I love what I do so every day is great (ok well not EVERY day 😉 otherwise it'd be all 'Stepford-wifey')
When I was in a job I didn't enjoy, the mornings were filled with dread, the day was about clock watching and the evenings were spent worrying about the next day.
I know.....crazy! But does it sound familiar?
All too often talented artists put their dreams to one side out of fear or complacency.
"I'm too old"
"I don't have a degree"
"I'm not tech savvy"
"My style of work isn't popular"
"I don't have time"
......and the list goes on.
Sadly most of these things are mistaken beliefs and just old stories we keep telling ourselves.
Are you getting in your own way? If so, how can you make the shift?]()

I've learnt so much this year about making art and also about business. Even though I've been building businesses for over 16 years, things change, new technology comes out, people discover better ways of doing things and I love that.
I've been on some amazing courses to make sure I stay abreast of what's happening.
The progress really keeps you on your toes.
I think that's why I love this industry so much. We get to be creative, we get to chose, to design, to play.
I mean seriously....is there a better job out there. I seriously doubt it.

Sunday mornings mmmmmmmm don't you just love em. ![A softer, figurative piece from a collection called ‘Unfolding’ that’s due to appear on the new website soon!
This collection is about the transitional states we go through in relationships with ourselves and with others. The things we feel and the strength we find inside when we decide to be vulnerable.
This piece is called ‘To Feel Your Touch’
Happy Saturday everyone 😘

I love interiors and for many years now have been doing houses up, slowly, on the side. I know some people like to stay in the same house for years and I really admire that but I can’t do it.
I get itchy feet and want to explore, start a new project and get stuck in.
It’s the transformation that’s exciting, from dark, dingy and run down, to light, airy and welcoming.
Shockingly bad at the preparation so I leave that to the experts, but love the end bits where you get to choose colours and decorate 😍
On occasion I’ve struggled finding cushions/lampshades etc that will go exactly with what’s in my head, so I thought I’d design some myself. It’s so much fun it’s ridiculous- honestly you could lose hours in a pay just playing with this kind of thing
Anyway happy Friday everyone, enjoy the weekend whether you’re cushion designing or just chilling out 🥰

Sometimes there are even more layers of jumpers amd fingerless gloves just to perfect the vagrant look.
I see artists looking gorgeous in clean outfits that match their paintings 😳 and perfectly poised. I know this is just marketing so just thought I’d share the truth.
Who else looks like they’ve been dragged through a paint-filled hedge backwards by the time they leave the studio?
Or like a female Adam Ant?
Or a coal miner if charcoal has been involved?

It’s taken a bit longer than expected as I’m trying to fit it in, in between helping the Passion into Profit students building their sites.
So excited to share it though 🤩
I absolutely love seeing the transformation the students make from their old websites to the new ones.
It's time consuming to set up, but like anything else, if you do it right the first time it saves a lot of headaches.
Then in between, getting some precious time in the studio to paint. I don't know where all the hours in the day are going during lockdown??
