It's funny how life goes round in circles
When I moved house 17 years ago I gave up a home where I had a purpose-built studio in my garden. It was in a great spot and had plenty of space for me and my big canvases. It can get a bit splashy!
When we moved I had returned to work and thought that my commercial painting days were over. It wasn’t long before my creative itch started and that’s when I decided to do an Art & Design Access course at a local college. I thought it would be an opportunity to have access to a studio, learn some new techniques and meet other creatives. Well, it turned out to be the most amazing year and lead me to going on to do a degree in Interior Textiles & Surface Design and subsequently find myself pivoting my career into design.
As we are soon to be moving to somewhere with a bit more space my thoughts have been returning to painting.
When I last painted social media wasn’t much of a thing so I have taken some time to find as many images of my sold paintings as I can to create a small gallery. As I create more I’ll add them too.
It will be interesting to see how much my style has been affected by my design experience.
Watch this space!
