Hey,
I thought I would introduce myself a little bit more since a lot of you are new here and I have never really done so, so here we go 🌸
🤍 I am a Professional Artist from Yorkshire, U.K
🤍 I travel up to the highlands in Scotland 🏴 a lot, my ancestors travelled from Ireland to Scotland in the early 1900s before travelling to England where I was born.
🤍 I dream of writing and illustrating my own childrens books.
🤍 I have illustrated books this last year and it has been amazing to collaborate with up and coming authors such as Sonny and the Shaman - NJ Parker Author
🤍 I first started drawing when I was child, I was told by school that I couldnt do art as there was no space in the class, so I did design and technology instead - still got to create 😊 my first big mural was Little Mermaid which i painted on my mums bathroom wall!
🤍 I started drawing, painting and creating again following domestic abuse in 2015 - I became a single mum to three children who were 1, 3 and 9 at the time (my absolute soul).. but in the wake of chaos I found my way back to an easel and basically drew my way out of depression and financial crisis. My children who are now 10, 12 , and 18 have always been my inspiration and biggest supporters, and I am eternally grateful to them.
🤍 I work with children (and adults) to encourage creativity to overcome adversity and to have as much fun as possible to be themselves.
🤍 I love reading, if im not creating i'm reading or learning something 📚
🤍 I home educate my middle child who was diagnosed with Autism, Dyspraxia and Epilepsy at age 5.
🤍 I have a side hustle as an Independent Travel Agent because I love to travel - Embrace the Journey!
🤍 I grew myself an Apothecary garden which I adore.
🤍I feel like I am in the wrong time period.
🤍 I love vanilla cheesecake ❤️
🤍 We have a pup, a cocker spaniel, who just adds to the love of our home 💕
🤍 I love receiving and reading peoples emails, I feel honoured that people share there stories with me - thank you! 🙏
Now let me know more about you ⚘️ Do we have anything in common? 🥰 I would love to know more about you!
Much love
