If you are curious about my statement. It's not an incantation or prayer, but you could think of it as a poetic invitation—a call to gather and create stories together. It reflects my creative process and the spirit behind my art. I draw inspiration from the natural world, where even the smallest leaf or gentlest breeze seems to carry its own story. Additionally, I am deeply inspired by people and their stories. The emotions, experiences, and dreams of individuals fuel my creativity and are woven into the fabric of each tale I tell. By inviting you to 'chat' and 'write a story together,' I hope to evoke a sense of communal storytelling, reminiscent of old tales shared around a fire under the stars. It's about creating a shared space where imagination and magic come alive.
I am almost as Manx as the hills. I have lived almost all my life on the Isle of Man. As a lifelong Isle of Man resident, my life has been woven from both the visible world and the depths of imagination. Born into a narrative of art and storytelling, I was trained by celebrated Manx artists and further refined with a Bachelor’s in Fine Art from Liverpool John Moores University. My art is a conversation between nature’s beauty and the dynamic energy of human creativity, culture, community and connectivity. I continually experiment with various mediums, and recently, AI has become a part of my toolkit, merging traditional techniques with cutting-edge digital innovation. Together with my husband, two sons, and our Manx black cat Sven, I continue to explore new creative horizons.
Take a breath, put on a cup of tea, and pull up a chair. Let each story refresh your mind and elevate your spirit with warmth and joy.
I'm eager to learn more about what inspires you. Do you have any particular questions? Feel free to email me with your thoughts. While I might not be able to respond to each message individually, rest assured, I read every single one and your insights will help shape the future content of my newsletters and creative projects. Join me on this continuous exploration of creativity, and imagination. Whether you're a fellow art enthusiast, a lover of stories, or someone seeking a moment of peace in the hustle of everyday life, you're invited to share in this journey online on my Facebook page or Instagram page
