Hi,
I'm the kind of artist who loves to sit on rainy evenings and pick up some pencils or pastels while listening to some chill-out Steampunk music. I don't draw for me, I draw for others. I get requests to draw mainly loved pets, and some who have passed over the rainbow bridge want their mummies and daddies to know they are still around and very much a part of their families' lives. I get an itchin' to pick up a pencil and draw. I get a vibe, a yearnin' and then I know it is time, it is right.....and I place pencil to paper and it all falls into place.
I don't draw often and I turn many people's requests down, because it has to feel right. I've never been taught, I don't have a style, I don't follow a pattern or path. Often I just zone out to the music in my ear buds and then when my husband slams a cup of tea down in front of me two hours later, viola! There's a picture before me manifested on the page.
Shadows of beloved pets fixed firmly onto the white. A loved member of the family near wriggling off the page, a dazzling vibration caught and transfixed forever. Memories blossom, bursting like sparkling champagne bubbles in the mind, bringing with it a treasure, a captured moment or lifetime.
Art is a blessing, a gift. I love to give, but only when the moment is right.
Here is a selection of my work that I am proud to present. It may not be good, it may not be special to your eyes, but to those who receive it, it is priceless.

In my Grandfather's glasses are my memories reflected;
In your daughter, Aero, are our memories captured.
