So my attempts to change my life by changing one thing every day almost had a setback today as soon as they started when I woke up feeling incredibly unwell. In fact I was so ill I had to forgo my Father-in-law’s birthday and felt horribly guilty for upsetting my family (my husband was fine […]
If you have any interest in seeing some of my work in the “real” world then you can catch Snapshot at The Chocolate Factory with Shape Arts until the 30th and A Road Less Travelled at the Well Hung Gallery in Hoxton until 29th February and if you want to make an artist very happy you […]
So last week was quite a busy old week for me; I had some work in an exhibition open and I had the London Art Fair to attend (thanks very much to Axis web for the tickets). Sadly my health means that despite my original plan to attend both the private view and the […]
I have been feeling pretty rubbish lately; family problems, poor health and life not going as I want it to have left me feeling, well shit to be honest. In my head I have a picture of what life should be like and how I should be and my reality never matches up (I suffer […]

I am currently in the midst of two projects and thought I would share some info about one of them. More Than a Feeling [working title] is a look at how people identify themselves and how we experience emotion. I am interested in examining emotions in different ways: text, shape and colour.
