I love to print and immerse myself in the natural world and colour!

I spent many years working hard commuting , nose to the grind stone in the City, but I always felt out of place. I had various side hustles, floristry, events, a DJ, furniture restoration..... I mean all the side gigs were arty right... not finance. What took me so long to escape. So I took a sabbatical, and here I am , I am making art ... in all sorts ways, I adore the printed form, nature, birds, and colour,is that because I had too many years in a grey suit? I sometimes wonder.

I escaped..... and I took my first steps with acrylic paints and I have not looked back, I spend more time creating than my 9 to 5, waking in the night to scribble an idea, running downstairs to try out a printing idea... oh my poor husband.

Living in London I am surrounded by buildings, but I am lucky to have a woodland a stones throw away, and this is my happy place with my two dogs. Autumn is my favourite season, maybe this spots me, but it inspires me.

I love to learn and share my ups and downs, I have a YouTube channel where I bare my soul... a very scary place to be, as is putting yourself out there to sell.
