Yesterday I Sketched a model and her cat in chalk pastel. A medium that is close to my heart because my granny taught me how to draw with them. This drawing fills me with happiness every time I look at it. I adore its minimalist style. The rose tones elevate the entire drawing, creating a

What’s the first impression you want to give people? At three years old I was diagnosed with a hip condition called Perthes Disease. It only affects a very small percentage of the worlds population. And as many children desire to be, I wanted to be a ballerina. A ballerina I could never be. As I

Ella the French Bulldog is a fictional dog I created. Isn’t she cute!? I had a lot of fun with this one. It’s an original watercolour painting on 100% cotton watercolour paper. What do I love about 100% cotton paper? The way the colour bleeds across the paper. Given that Ella the French bulldog has
