Hello to you all! Happy New Year. Hoping that you all had a good, fun and relaxing (whatever you needed) Christmas and start to the new year!
I have my first group Creative Painting Workshops up here in Farnham, Surrey on Saturday 25th February and then in Bournemouth on Sunday 12th March. People have already started to book, I am very excited! Please message/email me if you would to reserve your place.
As many of you know, I am passionate about helping people to connect to their creative self from a place of freedom and curiosity. I support you within my workshops to; play, explore and discover through paint. Come and experience some special time for you.
It's fun, freeing and different!

I have just had a blast from the past... (is that a saying?) I came across the radio interview that I did 18 months ago. Made me smile, cringe a bit with all the 'ums' and cry with how far I have come and what I have achieved both outwardly and inside. My life has changed in magical ways over the last 22 months! To anyone out there that is going through a challenging time. Remember...
1) This too shall pass
2) To love and be gentle with yourself

Hello! Motherhood... wow! I am so blessed and loving most minutes!!! Daisy is a little sweetheart! She is 11 weeks old already!
Today I was able to have a few hours painting, it was magic. It is so nourishing to be painting again. This is the first painting since having Daisy. I thought I would share it with you. It is not yet finished, well I don't think it is...and it hasn't a name yet. It would be great to hear what you see in it/ feel from it and/or what you would name it!
I also have some workshops coming up in Bournemouth, I will be posting these events. As most of you know, I am now living in Surrey, (only 1 1/4 hours by car from Bournemouth). I will be predominantly working up here; offering 1-1's in my studio as well as setting up group workshops in the Guildford/Farnham area, around looking after Daisy. But I will be coming down to Bournemouth to run two workshops on a Sunday; November 27th, March 12th and July 9th. Message me if you are interested, places are limited to 8 people per workshop. I am so looking forward to supporting you on your creative journeys!
Bye for now!

When was the last time you just played, painted or just did something because you wanted to?
Not because it was on your list of things to do or you had to or that it was for some bigger reason/outcome. As adults we can spend so much time doing; planning, organising, working towards getting the end result we want, we can miss the true gift of being present.
Reading and working through the book the Artists Way by Julia Cameron really helped me with this. It is so nourishing and healing to take time out to just be, to create just because, like a child would. Yes, I know there can be lots to get done and it is easy to say 'Well once I have done this I will then take time for me', but I know from experience that often it doesn't happen. If any of this rings true with you, then I say, book out a day, a morning, even a few hours of YOU time to nourish your inner self and heart. Could you set aside time each week for yourself, to be in the moment and do whatever you feel like doing!?
Write it in pen in your diary, make a date with yourself!
You deserve it...You will love it!
I would love to hear how you get on! :)
