So, Hi there, I have been a designer for more years than I can count; I have mainly worked in clothing and have always seemed to keep my fine art simmering in the background. I have been drawing since I could grip and art has been my life, soul and source of strength throughout.   In my early 20's I managed to buy a flat and paid my mortgage selling paintings in local art shops.  I have always been keen to help others with their creativity. Almost all of the people who have ever worked for me have gone on to set up and run beautiful, successful businesses.  Lockdown drew a much bigger number of people to me looking for help and advice.  Helping them all with different techniques and materials was a big inspiration for me and one that I enjoyed more than I realised and began to look for ways to help more people.
