💥The Year of the Fire Horse💥
whoa yeah!!!

This week marks the transition from the Chinese year of the Wood Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse (beginning February 17). An exciting change from quiet, internal introspection to rapid, fiery action, personally and on the world stage.

As a 60-year cycle, the Fire Horse is considered a rare, high-energy, and often tumultuous period that demands movement, independence, and bold decision-making. Bring. It. On💥🙏

More than this, and importantly, whilst this high, fast-moving energy is with us, it's a time appreciating being anchored into our personal strength and focus, grounding and becoming mindful of what supports us. For me, that is mediation, my art practice and connection with like-minded souls.

Throughout this exciting and turbulent time, I'm committed to supporting people develop their art practice as a way of being mindful and centred.
News coming soon about a series of 1 day, 4 day and 6-week sessions.

Happy New Year!

Here's my intuited painting for this transition.
Energised, textured and nuanced, weaving symbolism and intuition, my love of horses, gold and grey.

Acrylic on board, framed in a classic vintage frame.
Framed size 69 x 59 cm.
Available, DM me

In Art, it’s okay to make an initial mark change your mind. To improve it, to feel into what is being asked of you and to make the next move in accordance to what feels good. Works in life too 😉

Because without art collectors, there would be no art,
and without art ... well ....

Honestly? A world without art would still function.
We’d have houses but no sense of home.
Language, but no poetry to stretch it.
Facts, but no meaning.
Art is how humans remember who they are.
It’s our emotional archive.
Before we had science, we had cave paintings.
Before psychology, we had myth, ritual, pattern.
Art is the original tool for making sense of being human.

Without it:
Joy would have no echo.
Inner worlds and connections would stay locked inside us.
Art doesn’t decorate life — it integrates.
It translates invisible, internal emotions, intuitions, memories, connections, spirit, into something shared.

Art communicates.
It’s how one soul speaks to another across time.
And quietly, it does something else that we need:
Art slows us down enough to feel.
To notice.
To remember.
To recollect.
To dream.

In a world without art, we'd survive — but we wouldn’t be reflected.
And without reflection, humanity loses its depth.
Which is why art matters more than most people realise.

Paintings are not just pictures.
They shape our inner weather.
They are places to rest our eyes and
regulate our nervous systems.
They give form to something we feel but can’t name.

So, friends, buy the flowers, the gift of love 🩷

************

All these paintings are one-off originals, unframed on board, canvas or paper. All are ready for immediate delivery, so will be with you well before the weekend.
All £300 and under.

If you'd like one, or two - message me and send you a link to buy.

Love love xx

The great skill of Artists is tenacity. Having ideas and then having the tenacity to keep going at them going at them and going at them and never using the F word - failure.

Just another interesting example of the way in which art and art practice teaches us about life ✨

I’ve been buying myself flowers recently 💕💕

And I’ve been doing lots of sketches of them. Paper whites and posh tulips.🥰 I do love this time of year before spring properly starts outside but you can find these kind of flowers to energise the room.

Here’s the latest sketches. They’re all available now. If you’d like one - the big moon one is £295 and the flower ones are £195. DM me if you’d like one of these beauties.😘😘

You may be familiar with Matisse's famous series of paintings and cut-outs 'La Danse' - well when I painted these pups living their best lives on the beach at Poppit, West Wales, all that was in my mind was the circular, swirling dance that Matisse created with his dancer - well here's my version - meet "La danse du chien" — a signed, titled and numbered limited edition print, now on my new, and almost ready website: https://wix.to/YHsu5oP

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!

Tenby. 1998
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.

WINTER into SPRING

Art That Awakens You: Weekly Online Art Class - starts Wednesday 14th January.

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

“Art That Awakens You” is for artists who want to explore their craft—and themselves—while unlocking inspiration, confidence, and self discovery week by week.

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.

✨ Come play, explore, and awaken.

The 6 week Winter into Early Spring term of The Art Class starts January 14th.

It's live online each Wednesday evening and is recorded
for catch up.

My role is to help you by making creativity and art simpler.
Each week, I distil the creative and painting process down to its core, working on demonstration paintings and responding to the group's questions.

In a world that is becoming more complex and serious by the minute, this method of teaching releases pressure on people's minds .... and resources.
You don't need experience, and you don't need expensive materials.

It's a small group limited to just ten, with a focus on individual support, community and connection through these winter - into early spring weeks.

Places are filling up so please don't delay.

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

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.

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.

Great to be back on the beach sketching. This place is endlessly inspiring for me. Itching to get back in the studio now….

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 🕯️🤍

These daily paintings are more than a celebration of the silent season. They are commitment to myself as an artist a dedication to creativity. They ensure that I take some space out of what can be a very busy time of the year to be in the studio and to make art. And for that I am thankful.

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 😘😘
