40 years ago, I never imagined I would be considered a professional artist. I have been lucky to have been able to have a career within creativity which has taken me around the world. But living with a debilitating bone condition meant that time was running out for me to be running around the world for work. Art and creativity is part of who I am, and to be able to send my day doing it, well isn’t that a blessing.I now live in Wiltshire, a small village right behind Stone Henge with my childhood sweetheart, husband of 30+ years Jon What excites me is the opportunity to find unique ways to fit my art into the world. I still love teaching and helping other creatives to find their inner digital ninja. But I realise art is more than something you hang on the wall. In today’s world art can be worn, held, and even sat on. Art is everywhere and celebrated as part of a culture or identity.I focus my day to day art on pet portrait commissions and create fur baby master pieces in watercolour or through digital paintings, but my other paintings are more spiritually inspired. I have an eclectic range, but mainly they bridge the gap between reality and abstract.Starting out within the nail industry 25 years ago I was drawn to this profession because of the nail art, since then I have owned my own salon, nail academy, entered and won competitions and now judge nationally and internationally for various competitions. I have held seminars, workshops, and present for my own and other brands in over 30 different countries. Providing online and face to face education I have a unique style to teaching and can help nail techs realise their own creative potential. I write for various magazines nationally and internationally and contribute with tutorials and inspirational content, Before retiring I was able to establish a reputation for bringing something new, fun and fresh to today's industry which inspires techs globally. Now I use my experience running my own 6 figure business to help other entrepreneur with strategy, marketing and creative, throwing in some social advertising as well.
