I said this to my husband the other day, who looked at me blankly while I was posting my 1000000th post. Hes not on social media, not even Facebook, I actually find this so liberating and I’m slightly envious. Not having any social pressures, FOMO, having that dreading feeling of wondering who’s liked my posts.Continue reading ““Social Media is like having your dream job but never getting a promotion””

A better day…
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 what about if this blogContinue reading “A better day…”
How Much does Art Cost??
Ok, so I know what you’re thinking, the UK is on the brink of a financial disaster, so why am I writing a blog post about the price of art? When the people in the UK are struggling to pay for their bills and food, why am I writing a blog about buying art? SurelyContinue reading “How Much does Art Cost??”
Happy Dogs Collection and Sara Faber Illustrator
Dogs have always played a huge part in my life, from an early age my family joked that my first word was dog. It’s quite possible but not something I remember. My cousins had numerous dogs from a lab to a Rottweiler, to a rescue mix breed. My nan and grandads neighbour would always comeContinue reading “Happy Dogs Collection and Sara Faber Illustrator”
“But is it really art if it’s done on an iPad?”
This is the kind of question I get when I tell people that some of my art has been done on my iPad. I get so many remarks like “so you haven’t drawn this, if it’s on a computer?’ Or “did you paint this or was it on the iPad” my reply is always “yesContinue reading ““But is it really art if it’s done on an iPad?””

I recently put a post up on my Instagram account (see link below to see my recent work) about a very brief insight into the tools I use in my art. So I thought I would just hop in here to write a but more of an in-depth blog in case anyone out there wasContinue reading “Tools of my Trade”
Where you hang you….art is where you hang your heart.
I get asked quite a lot about where’s the best place to hang their art work. This is such a personal heartfelt question and the answer is a difficult one. You’ve paid a lot for your art work so, I get that you want to hang it somewhere special. Especially if you’ve paid top dollarContinue reading “Where you hang you….art is where you hang your heart.”
2021 My Year in Review and what I want for 2022
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 alwaysContinue reading “2021 My Year in Review and what I want for 2022”
To affinity and beyond
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 Smokey and hisContinue reading “To affinity and beyond”
Christmas musings
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 chaotic with renovations, stillContinue reading “Christmas musings”
