- When I was growing up academic subjects did not come naturally to me at school. Some of us creative people definitely understand the struggle of those academic subjects being pushed over the art based subjects. I've 100% been there and I had to work extra hard to get those expected grades. I discovered my love for drawing and painting from a young age and it was something that came far more naturally than anything else. 

- I loved drawing and painting all through school and then went on to study textiles at The Arts University Bournemouth. Although textiles doesn't sound like much to do with painting etc, it was in fact quite the opposite. 





















- Studying textiles allowed me to continue my love for painting and drawing. I would create pattern designs with my drawings and apply them to interior furnishings (cushions, wallpapers etc). 

- I graduated in June 2019 with a 2:1 in BA (Hons) Textiles.

- I decided that the busy textile industry just wasn't for me. It is far too competitive and rigid and honestly wouldn't give me the creative freedom that I have owning my own business.

- I began doing private commissions of various different artwork and pet portraits for close friends and family. It seemed I was getting more requests for these private commissions as time went on... then I thought "Why don't I go full time?" so it was you that made it possible for me to go full-time.

- Not only did I love being able to continue my passion, I loved the rewarding feeling of seeing how happy my work could make someone. It's what made it all worth it for me. I love having creative freedom to create and sell prints of my original artwork alongside drawing your pets.

- I launched my business back in April 2020. Since 2023 I have been exhibiting at the Spirit of Christmas market in London where I get to meet so many lovely people who commission a pet portrait at my stand.
