THIS PAGE IS A SHOWCASE OF MY VERY TALENTED SISTERS ARTWORK
I've always maintained an energy for art & design (which is handy because acedemia was never really my forte!!) thrusting me into the notion of a creatively laced future.
I had a middle class nuclear upbringing, a Grammar School education and the oppertunity to achieve anything; with that in mind, what do you do when the career possibilities are endless?
Whilst my piers had hopes of being doctors or lawyers i simply employed this vision of having my own studio,somewhere beautiful, on the coast & surrounded by my art work. That to me would be perfect.
Unfortunately there wasnt an appropriate box to tick for that decision so it was considered an "underachievement" .
I resigned myself from school at 17 and moved to Cornwall to gain some independence so i could start taking responsibility for my own future.
Most importantly to learn that it is okay to be whoever you want to be.
I came back in 2005 and signed up to art school.
With three years training at the University College For the Creative Arts (2005/8) I appreciated that it was possible to make a career out of something you love.
I learnt enough there to establish my own style, any longer and I feel your perception would get distorted and you try too much to replicate other artists.
Since then i have worked independently, mainly gaining work through word of mouth, as i've only really considered my work to be the remnants of a hobby.
But now i want to share it with you.
I consider this website an extension of my personality, a record of everything that inspires me and the ramifications of it.
My diary.
So go get a nice cup of tea and enjoy.
