The Full Story
About Me
Little me was ways creative and loved art. However, adult me thought art was just a hobby, a useless talent that I couldn't make any real money from.
Denying doing the thing I loved, when college ended, I had no idea what I wanted to 'do' with my life. I stupidly decided to go to university to study Creative Writing and Publishing.
By the end f the three years, I was severally depressed and battling with my mental health.
I couldn't get a job in the field I wanted and ended up working as a lifeguard, sales assistant, traineee recruiter... you name it.
During this time, I got talking to an old friend from school who got me enjoying life again.
So much so, I started doing art during lockdown. I was furloughed for over a year and had an awful amount of time on my hands, so I decided to put it to good use. It became a good little business!
My old school friend was such a good egg, I married him.
I had major surgery to remove deep infiltrating endometriosis that had been causing me sever pain and problems for years. Soon after this, I ended up getting a new job, a senior position I thought I would never end up getting. let's just say, my art business fell by the wayside.
Not too long after, I became a mother to my beautiful son. He's the greatest gift and purpose I could have ever wished for.
Now my son is 1, and now I have time, I decided I owe it to little me to pick up my paint brushes again, and because I wouldn't want my son to think it's not possible to pursue his dreams.
