i did have this written in third person to seem more professional, but it felt strange – considering this little space of the internet has just been me & my dog, a lot of late nights & cups of tea that went cold. 

I am completely self-taught in practicing art, & only started painting at 29 years old. Before this, my art “practice” was no more than a few graphite sketches a year. & i’d always been so scared of adding colour. But it was the day i bought my first watercolours that i knew- this is a long-term kinda love.

I haven’t dedicated my art a full-time career, as I also practice as a psychologist (hence why I love painting people!). In my previous career, i worked as a veterinarian & did this for over a decade. hence why i love painting animals! Needless to say, it’s been quite an intense career change.

so, life is busy. i paint as much as i can but i always wish that i could paint more. i have found so much peace in creativity.
