'My Story'
Welcome to my story
I've always been creative, embarking on many courses, from Patchwork & Quilting, Floristry, and even obtaining a Diploma in Garden Design with distinction.
In 2011 I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, on top of the menopause! I'd lost a lot of weight and needed to do something drastic. I changed my work & eating routine and began drinking herbal tea. One day I discarded a Rooibos tea bag on my boiler. The following morning I noticed beautiful red tones on the canvas and immediately reached for my watercolours. This was the start of my art therapy!
At Christmas 2018 I stopped medication and my results were back to normal. I celebrated with a rooibos tea and a chinese take away!
Now I work with a variety of mediums including Encaustic Wax, Cyanotypes and Digital Eco Dye.
