I did something I’ve dreamt of last Friday and it required me to be SO brave & I couldn’t be prouder of myself for doing it.

Last Friday I had the opportunity to be support act. I stood up in front of an audience in the incredible venue and shared poems, that although scrawled in my book, have never been shared aloud.

People laughed, people cried, people clapped and somehow I didn’t just survive my first time on stage I absolutely loved it.

I cannot wait to do it again sometime soon and another huge thanks to Georgie for giving this woman space to try and do what she loves.

What a night. Normal Monday words back next week 🫶🏻✨

A little studio life update because there’s a lot happening behind the scenes!

Recently I’ve found myself coming back to the same question:

How can I use creativity to help people feel more connected? To themselves, each other and the places around them?

And somehow, all the little threads are starting to weave together.

I’ve recently taken on a full-time contract with Cornwall Heritage Trust, working strategically to support the protection of Cornwall’s places and stories.

It’s a slightly different side of my brain than you usually see here, but it actually feels beautifully connected to everything I create because so much of my work comes back to stories, belonging and our relationship with place.

It also means I’ve been able to reshape the way I work creatively.

• I’ve moved into a new studio in the heart of Perranporth, just moments from the beach, where I’ll be creating, writing and building more experiences rooted in this coastline.

• I’ll be bringing back free community workshops, something I’ve wanted to do for a while and I’m so grateful I can make space for again.

• My poetry collection Hot Water Bottle is slowly making its way into the world.

• And somehow (still processing this one 😅) my words are making their way onto stages this summer too (starting tonight supporting Georgie Jones)

There will be workshops, festivals, poems, paintings, beach days, stories and probably a lot of coffee.

Thank you for following along as this little creative world keeps growing.

It feels like the start of a very exciting chapter 💙

It’s June which means it’s also officially the month my poetry book “Hot Water Bottle” comes out for presale and I’m so overwhelmed/excited/nervous to start showing you two years of hard work, tears, connecting with a whirlwind of emotions and finding my way through a messy world with words.

Please sign up to my newsletter to support me, there’s a special something for those of you that do 💙

I’ve packed up a tiny version of my studio and put it in a box.

This travelling easel is coming with me on a summer of exploring as I begin work on a brand new collection inspired by Cornwall’s coastline.

Over the next few months, there’s a good chance you’ll find me painting on a beach somewhere, slightly windswept and wondering if I packed enough snacks.

If you happen to spot me out and about, come and say hello.

I’ll be sharing the journey (and hopefully a few finished pieces) along the way.

⚠️ trigger warning ⚠️ this poem speaks about toxic love and ab*** patterns.
It’s a heavy one, some of my poems are. I wrote this a while ago, it’s not recent but after sharing it with a few friends and hearing it resonate with others I felt it deserves air.
DMs are always open if you need a friend 💙
