🌸Serenity in Bloom 🌸 framed and ready for a very special auction....

This piece is so close to my heart ….when Bella was small and struggling to find her words, a charity Rowland Hill Fund stepped in and funded speech therapy at a time I couldn’t. That gift helped unlock her voice (she’s a total chatterbox now !)

They also part-funded Bella’s bedroom move and specialist equipment mission....support that made such a difference to us as a family.

This artwork feels like the perfect way to say thank you.

✨ A small run of signed limited editions will also be available privately. Reply if you’d like one reserved xx

Was so worried it wouldn’t fit on the driveway 🙈 Countdown to studio build begins! 💕

The slab is down, the countdown is on ....only 4 days until I move into my dream studio 🎉🥳

I’ve been sketching layouts, re-measuring shelves, and basically nesting like a woman possessed.

If you had your own creative space, what’s the one thing you’d put in it?

✨ The little details make the biggest difference. ✨

I’m finalising the canvases for my Unbreakable series, and the question is: how should the edges be finished?

Which do you like best?

I’m torn between:

A) Mirror/Image wrap
B) White wrap
C) Black wrap

Comment below please

👉 Drop your pick in the comments - it’ll really help me lock this in before the printers start rolling.

Today’s task....Grilling my printer + framer on all the un-glam details....frame choices, how the hanging hardware is fitted, and whether the surfaces can handle what I’m about to throw at them.

So here’s the plan: I’m not just sending off digital files and calling it done. These are the skins....the base layers I’ll be building on with gold leaf, paint, and mixed-media details. So sort of digital and traditional hybrids. Total experiment (never done this before 🙈).

So when these beauties finally hang on someone’s wall, they won’t just be beautiful they’ll be built to last. ✨

So… I sort of disappeared for the whole summer 🙈. I promised myself family time, chaos and all, before stepping back into (my brand new!) studio this autumn.

🍂✨ Fresh season, fresh focus.

👉 So that was me: beach huts, Thermomix dramas, and Frozen on loop. Please tell me your summer was more glamorous… so I can pretend I was sipping cocktails instead of chasing Freya up walls 😂.

✨ Before summer I was burnt out, spinning a thousand plates. For these eight weeks, I chose to spin just one - my kids - and it was exactly what we needed. And somewhere in the middle of all that I realised something: my art doesn’t have to be about constant output or keeping up with what everyone else is doing. I get to build this on my own terms. My business can look however I need it to....slower, more intentional, and a whole lot more me..

Now I feel so inspired with my art moving forward. I love that we can be more than one thing and actually celebrate it, be thankful for i. Work hard then take a break, boss the art then chill at the beach, advocate like a rottweiler then goof around watching Frozen.

That bonkers balance is exactly what I needed and now and I’m ready to dive back into the art again.

Just a little update before I vanish into the Welsh hills with Ken, the kids, and a campervan that dies every time we turn a corner 😅

✨ The Burnt-Out Beauty Seeker is is glowing up in lush greens and shimmering gold. She’s just returned from a healing forest retreat, smelling of eucalyptus.

💙 The Lost Creative is floating into calming blues...soft, gentle, and exactly the kind of energy I wish I could pack with me.

I’ve got butterfly wings to glue, snacks to find, and a mountain of chaos to cram into one vehicle… wish me luck!

P.S. Any tips for packing with a toddler and a kid who runs on rocket fuel? ###
