PAINTING AND CHILDREN Looking at this painting brings back so many memories from when the kids were little.  There is a four year age gap between our children Kai and Hillivi and were for the most part the best of friends growing up.  We lived on a farm until just recently and the nearest kids […]

THE ART OF BIRTHDAY FUN Oh I already know that I am just the luckiest mum in the world with the two loveliest kids you could ever ask for, that said this particular story is about Baby girl (still call her that even though she is 20 now, you will find her in a lot […]

THE ART OF MAKING BABIES I bet you all know where the inspiration for this painting came from, yes of course being pregnant and all that.   Seems like a long time ago now and a time filled with excitement and trepidation.  I cannot say it was a great state to be in as feeling sick […]

CERAMIC AND MOSAIC I had so much fun making this ceramic and mosaic artwork piece, firstly because I am a little piggy when it comes to food and just love to both eat and look at pictures of food and also it was fun to make the people all have open mouths with bits of […]

ART & EASTER Happy Easter to everyone and I hope you are all having the loveliest of times wherever you are and whatever you are doing. This acrylic painting “You and me and Bunny makes three” was one I painted many years ago when I first started out as an artist.  I have always been […]
