New Year, New Sketch Book, playing with ideas, gathering thoughts and inspiration

Valuing the simple things: easy, flowing lines, limited colours, pared back winter landscapes, and the sheer joy of taking the masking tape off and seeing the contrast of the sharp, neat line against the loose brush strokes.

Annnd a few more from the archive, 1998 ish I think. Oil pastel on paper.

I adore oil pastels, and when we had a small art shop in Aberteifi, one of the first things I did was stock it with the complete range of Sennelier oil pastels. You can imagine ..... I was like a kid in a sweet shop.

Tomorrow I am going to get the oil pastels out again - it has been about 20 years since I used them... they still work perfectly, that's amazing.

So - yes the new website is taking shape, and the full archive will be available to view 1st February .... I just love a deadline!

Going through the archives and working on the new website -launches Feb 1st and can’t resist sharing a few of my favs that pop up.

One of the unmentioned benefits of art and painting is it improves your memory it adds markers, anchors and waypoints.. I can remember exactly where I was when I painted this, what I was feeling rather than thinking what was on the radio. It somehow sharpens those senses.

Looking forward to seeing those of you who have signed up for the free one hour Art Class introduction session this afternoon. If you’d like to join me and haven’t signed up yet, what’s keeping you!

DM me and I’ll send you the link

Hello there 😚

I love a challenge - but wasn't expecting this current one to be as absorbing and exciting as it's turning out to be.
I am working on publishing an archive of almost 1000 paintings and a new website... oh geeky joy ... what pleasure is there in a meta data index🤣🤣

In the new website, I am including some of the different studios I’ve worked in. This was one of the most interesting, certainly the coldest.
It’s the upstairs joiners workshop of an old shipbuilding workshop on the banks of the Humber in East Yorkshire.

The studio space really impacts the type of paintings. Here I painted a series of large semi abstracts and florals, none of the more detailed beach and town paintings that I also love creating.

New website launches Feb 1st 🌟🌟🌟💥

Hello lovlies - a little introduction and a special welcome if you are new here.

I’m an artist, a business owner, a mentor, and a woman who has rebuilt her life from the inside out.
By choice, I live in rural West Wales, close to the sea and the quiet — two things that taught me how to breathe again.

My path here wasn’t clean or glamorous.
I originally trained in psychology, then spent years working for the Home Office, trying to fit myself into a life that looked respectable but felt entirely wrong in my body.

Eventually, the truth caught up with me.
I became seriously ill.
Three weeks in hospital.
Two years slowly building myself back together... into who I knew to be the real me.

It wasn’t pretty.
But it was honest.
And it showed me what I had been refusing to see:
I was a creative woman forcing myself into a 9–5 box that was never meant for me.

So I let it all go — the managerial role, a good salary, the pension, the identity people understood — and I chose the thing that had been waiting for me all along: creativity.

It was messy, and brave, and the most right thing I have ever done.

Now, I paint from my home studio and gallery, where visitors are welcome by appointment. I spend my days dog walking, loving life, painting, and connecting with other artists.

Alongside my painting, I help other artists grow their skills and businesses, blending my passion for creativity with personal development.
I have had the privilege of women joining my spaces who were talented but self-doubting.
Women who had something inside them they couldn’t quite reach yet.
Women who just needed someone to see them clearly and remind them of what was already there.

I’ve watched them build their creative practices, their businesses, their confidence, their sense of self.

And every time, something in me lights up.

That’s still where I find my purpose.

If this is resonating and you’re craving honesty, connection, support that doesn’t patronise you, and a space where your creativity and your inner world are both taken seriously — I’m here.
If you feel like I might be someone you can trust with your next step, let’s keep in touch.

Ready to have fun, get messy, and let your creativity sparkle?

In our weekly 90-minute online sessions, you’ll:

Learn acrylic techniques step-by-step through fun, guided demonstration paintings.

Explore your art and creativity, connecting your art to your life in meaningful ways.

Receive plenty of encouragement, laughter, and support in a warm, nurturing space.

Get optional feedback on your work and time to reflect on your progress.

Paint along if you like—or just sit back and watch the magic unfold. Each session is recorded, so nothing is missed. Lessons build progressively, helping you grow your skills while boosting your creative confidence.

This is more than a class—it’s a playful, inspiring space to see your art, yourself, and your life with fresh eyes, reconnect with your spark, and enjoy the pure joy of creating.

Awww 7 yearsa ago in the window at the wonderful MOMA Mach gallery 💕🎉

Oh my it's all popping off here in the studio - sooooo many exciting plans, events, projects, exhibitions, adventures ..... I feel quite fizzy with it all.

Here's the thing - as part of my business planning for the coming year I felt very strongly about the idea of the Kitchen Table.
In a time that is at once so super-connected, but also superficially-connected, I crave real connection and community.

I only desire to work this year with small, intimate communities, building strong and meaningful connections.
Hence the Kitchen Table idea - I want to work with groups (whether I'm hosting or part of) of no more than I could fit around my kitchen table - which admittedly is quite big - but you get the idea.

So here's my first offering of the year - it's a biggie, in terms of what it will deliver, but also very compact, in terms of places.

Create your Art, Create your Life - does what it says on the label ;-)
Come and try the magic in person for four days with me, May 22-25th

Late spring, the most beautiful time of year here in West Wales. The hedgerows are bursting with flowers, the fields full of lambs and barley, the coast fresh and welcoming.

Join me for a 4-day residential retreat in my home and studio over the late spring bank holiday weekend.

- Private bedrooms
- Fully catered vegetarian meals
- Painting in the studio and on location on the coast
- All painting materials provided

This luxurious 'time-for-you event' is limited to just 4 people.
Book now, by messaging me, or follow the link on my website with a £333 deposit to secure your place.

Happy Solstice lovely friends, and thank you for another year of support and friendship.

I’ll devote some thought to a review of the year and planning the next at a later date. But for now enough to rest in the stillness of this beautiful season.

Thank you too for your patience- the observant amongst you will have noted the absence of new daily Advent paintings. Apologies for this as it really is a favourite thing of mine to do to mark this season. I’ve been laid pretty low with flu & bronchitis and have been missing being able to paint even small studies.

A suitable time them for pausing and resting indeed!

I hope you and yours are keeping well and warm, and and bring the light of solstice candles in your house and hearts 🕯️🤍

Well, this was going to be just a half an hour live sharing the painting of today’s advent painting. But it turned into an hour!

There’s just so much that I want to share! Particularly the importance of carving out some time for doing things that really feed your soul during this busy period.

The today me is so so grateful that the me 2 weeks ago committed to a daily painting - which means that I get in the studio at least once a day.

I’ll be posting up the finished painting later, but right now I have to go and deliver some work to @oriel_cardi_bach 😘😘

I love painting these snowy scenes, but boy, does the thick white paint take some time to set!
More coming as soon as the paint is dry 😊❄️❄️❄️

Today I was feeling stuck in my new business venture ... unconfident and bogged down.

I was expecting this, and rather than fighting it, I embraced it, embraced the shadow side of me these feelings exposed.

So I thought about how I encourage artists who feel stuck.

My advice - the magic always lies just beyond the comfort zone.

It's time for a fresh start... I'm retiring a lot of my old print range.

Save 20% this month on all prints, before this range is 'sunsetted' at the end of November.

As many of you know I have been painting and producing prints from my studio in West Wales for the last 30 years.

The time has come to move on... ... don't worry I'm still painting!!

😭❤️😭

So, if there's a print you've had your eye on, now is the time to act, as there's 20% off all prints until the end of November, when the current print range will be retired.

Quote 20 at checkout for discount.

There's over 50 to choose from

This is the one most important thing about making art, and making life😉😉

SLOW DOWN. Swap rush for reflection, noise for silence, find the space between.

Feeling this?

November - letting go, making space✨
