Sometimes the moments that change everything arrive quietly. No big decisions. No dramatic turning points. Just an ordinary day… and a spark you didn’t know you were waiting for. My own creative comeback began with a simple colouring book and a cheap tin of pencils. The Moment Everything Shifted When I was seventeen, I was […]

Let’s be honest: drawing white animals can feel terrifying. And when it’s white fur on a white background?

In this month’s Coloured Pencil Chronicles video, I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes – […]

October always feels like the perfect excuse to add a little spookiness into our sketchbooks. And honestly? I couldn’t resist. This month felt like the perfect opportunity to take a look back at a couple of my spooky-inspired Halloween drawings (don’t worry, they’re still more cute than creepy!). 👻 The Ghost Dog – A little […]

World mental health day a couple of weeks ago got me thinking about just how much art and creativity have been a lifeline for me. Over the years, whenever life has felt overwhelming, picking up my pencils has been a way to steady myself. Drawing slows me down. It gives me space to breathe, to […]

Well… it’s finally here! After more than a year away from the mic, I’m back with something really special – a brand-new podcast that’s been sitting in my heart for a long time.
