ABOUT
Once upon a time there was a young girl who liked to play on the lawn in her back garden. She had a wonderful imagination and loved reading books, especially ones about the secret adventures of her toys which came to life once she was asleep.
As she grew, she realised that toys weren't really alive and Santa didn't really exist, but in her heart knew that somewhere in the world, magic did exist.
She found her magic through reading, writing and art. She even went to art college and worked as a graphic designer for a while, before venturing off travelling, and then having lots of adventures closer to home working as a content editor at a regional newspaper.
Then a monster appeared. It was called stress and anxiety, and it found her because of disharmony in her work/life balance. It stayed for about six years.
But she fought back. She created in her spare time. Her imagination kept her writing, drawing, using ceramics and small metals and other media, to keep the monster at bay.
Then she discovered something wonderful - colouring books. The monster didn't like these. Armed with her magical weapons of pen and pencils, it went away anytime she drew or coloured. She realised she could use her art to help others fight their monsters too, and have lots of fun doing it!
And when we all fight the monsters together, they get smaller and smaller and smaller, until we rarely think about them anymore.
Inspired by surrealist artists like Salvador Dali, she enjoys taking the ordinary and turning it something extraordinary.
Art is also extraordinary. It's kind of like magic.
