My art journey & extended Sale!
Good afternoon everyone!
Thank you for being here! I appreciate that you took the time to subscribe to my newsletter! Thank you for all of your continued support!
As I transition into my new space and start down this new avenue of this journey of mine, I thought I would give you a little bit of background information of my art journey.
My art was always seen by most as a self-supporting hobby, rather than a career. It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and it was the break-up of my marriage and the sudden need for a more substantial income to support my family, that led me to work several different jobs at the same time as working on my art.I worked on a variety of different projects from hand-painted furniture to detailed work on custom shoes alongside shelf stacking, cleaning houses, delivering leaflets and having my own home ironing business.
With the support of my new partner, I began to move away from painting and dreaming small, to painting and dreaming BIG! My partner ignited my love of things to do with the ocean, and a passion for sustainable living. I was then asked to paint on a surfboard for a client and things went crazy. This led me to where I am now - currently creating a series of commissioned artworks on old surfboards that were destined for landfill. Over the past 4 years I have painted 85 surfboard artworks and I am now a Full-time Artist!
New Beginnings ...
As you are probably aware, I have just moved house and studio for the 2nd time in one year! This time we have moved in with my partners Mum to look after her and ensure that she gets to stay in her own home. I am setting up my art studio in her sunroom which we have just redecorated.
It has been an exhausting couple of months with no time to paint so I can’t wait to get back into it! We are now adjusting to living in a multi-generational home with a new routine.
