Beautiful, Original Art Pieces that Capture the Heart

The drive: What challenges have you overcome?   

I found time, cost and self-confidence challenging, but all this changed for me after the birth of my son. The things I thought I had to do and be changed and I felt the weight lift off my shoulders, and the things I wanted and dreamed of started to happen. Creating art really is a blessing for me; it helps me explain things the way I see them. Also, I realised during lockdown that you only have one life, so be who you are meant to be! It’s a sweet revelation, which I hope other people get to experience too. 

For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?   

For me, the biggest cons of running my own business are that I am the only one who can make the art, and there are no other employees. 

The pros are that I get to do my dream job. I love making art, it’s my happy place, and time just disappears when I’m working in my studio. 

Hopes and dreams: What next? 

I want my experience/story to encourage and inspire other women (and men) to ‘be who they are born to be’, step out, have courage, be bold, and make your dreams happen, like I have. If I can do it, others can too. Every one of us has been given unique gifts and abilities – use what is in your hands or head and step out and do it.  

I plan to continue to grow my business and share my stories so that they might provide encouragement to others. I want to connect with likeminded shops owners who would love to stock my art work and I hope for a life full of art, purpose, love and fruitfulness.
