I may have been a mermaid in another life my love of the ocean is that strong. Creating has always been the essence of who I am. To me it’s only natural that these two go hand in hand.

For as long as I can remember I have always held something in my hand that would put marks on paper be it a pencil, a paintbrush or crayon. You see, creating was somewhere safe for me to go, and was the one thing that offered stability for me. I also grew up on the coast, the beach was a place I would often escape to, as the sounds and smells represented a sense of peace.

Needing a sense of belonging as a child was also a driving factor in my life. Being an only child until the age of nine and not having a stable home I could not wait to grow up and become a mum and have my own family, kids, pets, the whole package. I have always been drawn to children and animals for this reason, their natural sense of innocence and happiness compels me to capture this with my art.

I hope my art brings you as much joy as I get from creating them.

Creating will always be my passion, a place of stability, peace and most importantly joy.
