I stumbled across a younger version of myself whilst I was on YouTube and although I have changed hugely since I recorded this the words I speak are still relevant.
🐦‍⬛
Before I moved I did let work go, and I did actually burn some of it. Now I am in a new place, new space and waiting to find out more about the new version of myself. Maybe I will even be brave enough to get back in front of the camera and tell you all about it.

On Saturday I release my 31 day guide to Grounded Creativity with creative prompts, rituals and links to content to support your practice as you move through Summer. Will you join me? It's only available to paid subscribers on my Substack page, The Wild Path, so why not join my membership and embrace your creative wild as I share my mid-life creative journey. Membership is £5 per month or £50 a year and you get access to all my previous posts including video content and planners.

My cats moved in a week ago and are fed up being inside. This one has joined me in the studio and is watching the roofers through the window. I’ve been telling her how amazing it is here on this hill but she’s not impressed. Follow my Substack for stories from my new life up a hill.

I have a lot of textile urges at the moment inspired by paintings I am working on. I’m working out how to respond.

A few quick and messy sketches from a week away. Gestural and captured in between rain showers. I like the energy of them, and the decisions of what to include and what to leave out.

It felt more like winter today than spring!
