Who am I?
Who am I?
Hello!
I am a mother, a wife and have just taken the step to become a full time artist! Eek!
I am a self taught - well ever since I achieved A* at GCSE level - wanting to earn my own money once I turned 16, I didn’t continue with further education and ended up in a tooth brush factory! I moved onto office work eventually getting into finance, gaining some qualifications via evening college and working as an accounts assistant for 19 years. I enjoyed it some of the time, the money was good, but I was never truly happy.
Drawing and painting has been a hobby of mine all these years. I started doing commissions for friends and family and I just love their reactions, how happy it made me feel seeing them happy and I hungered for more. So, with the support of my husband, I decided to follow my dream of being an artist - I mean - I tell my kids to follow their dreams so why shouldn't I at least attempt to follow mine and in turn set an example for them?!
I am getting to grips with self promotion, have created a face book page, a Twitter profile, attend local events, hand out flyers. But I have more to learn in this area and more to do.
I hope you all enjoy my gallery, I will be loading more work regularly and I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
