I’m currently working within the remit of collage, using digital and print forms to lead me forward. I have no actual destination in mind; at the moment the joy is in the journey,
My Bio
In 2017 I became one of Theo's #SBS winners whilst running my art gallery Cloud 9 Studio Gallery.
Just before lockdown I moved house and subsequently closed the gallery after a dice with breast cancer left me unable to maintain the daily commute.
I'm now building up my own art business in Kirkcudbright, where I now live, on the south west coast of Scotland.
My Business Tips
Don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself.
If something isn’t working, don’t flog it. Be happy to start afresh and don’t be afraid of those new starts. Sometimes magic happens when you move on.
Find your people.
Whether that’s supporters or other business owners, find the ones that get you and what you do. They will be the ones that support your vision, not the ones that try to mould it to their own. If people criticise, especially online, block them and move on. You don’t need negativity, but you do need a bit of love for what you do - especially when it’s your reason to get up in the morning.
Expect failure, but strive for success
Some things will go wrong. You will make mistakes. Probably lots of them. But if you choose to learn from them, they are no longer mistakes - they become route markers, guiding you to better choices. Don’t let the idea of failure bog you down. We learn best by the things we do badly!
