Today, today I feel better. Just writing those words takes courage, I’ve sat here for the long time trying to figure out what it is I actually want to write. What words can I put on the screen that will benefit anyone reading this? And then I thought to myself...

And a updated price list…. In 2021 I decided to embark on my art journey, I wanted to build my business so it was a viable one, one that would earn me enough money to be independent. I also wanted to have the flexibility that if one of my sons needed me I would always...

As an artist and someone who previously has worked with animals, in particular dogs, I’m often asked why I have such an affinity with animals. And if I’m honest I’m not 100% sure where it came from, but I 100% know why! A little bit of history… I owned my first rabbit...

My eldest son keeps asking me “how many more sleeps until Christmas” and I keep saying quite a few. But actually there’s only 45 more days until the big day. I watched my first cheesy Christmas film the other day. We’re living in a new home and despite being a bit...
