The world feels very dark atm but we must keep making art ❤️
This one’s nearly finished and for sale soon. It will be my first finished large painting in 2 years (loads on the go) I’m not sure how to part with art like this that’s one of a kind.

This one was last week when I was jazzing up the space more.
It’s all moved around since but this is my favourite set up.

Recently got this piece of furniture from marketplace but I did have to admit defeat that it didn’t fit in the hallway where I planned to put it but it does look stunning in my bedroom.

Curiosity has a natural predator.

How Convenience Kills Curiosity
I’ve been thinking about the death of curiosity.
Remember when you had to figure out how a new piece of software worked by poking around its menus?
When finding an obscure fact meant wandering through library stacks, accidentally discovering three unrelated interesting things along the way?

This is by farrr one of my most popular greeting card designs. I made it when I did a printmaking course in Nz cause I missed printing sooo much at the time.
I’m thinking how nice it would be to make print an edition now I’m back in the uk.

Tiger tiger.
Frustrated at none of my paintings going well last night. I almost gave up until I thought I best use up all the paint already on my palette otherwise it’s a waste mixing this lovely lilac. And so finally I painted something I didn’t hate! Horray.

I added some eyes to this and i really don’t know… I just had the urge but it might be too bizarre and less serene.
Honest thoughts please? 👀

Happy Easter.
Here’s a design I made the other week. It’s based on the Easter tree my mum would always put up. With a few modern twists.
Hopefully will make it a greeting card in time for next year.

We had our first breakfast sketch club today ☺️ just a group of artists meeting that didn’t really know each other, having brunch and sketching. It was lovely!

I forgot this cute little red greenhouse I saw the other day when I also came across a park I’d literally never been to in Bristol or even heard of.
It’s so friggen cute and I immediately see a cute illustration coming this way.
