Many years ago, I trained as a Graphic Designer. But the universe had another path for me, as I left art college in the middle of a financial recession. As I needed to work, I took a job in Hertford and on the 1st day met my husband to be. Two children later during lockdown I started to draw again, using just coloured pencils, it became my calm time. As we were at home and our homes became our safe places, most of my art depicts quiet homes with tiny intricate interiors. In each there is a mouse, and normally a hobby (binoculars for bird watching for example) or a kitchen utensil. Tiny details to look up close for. I love depicting friends’ homes or special places such as the church, in illustration form but with a personal item somewhere for them to find. Each piece takes time to draw. But I hope that my quiet illustrations make people smile and just have a moment of calm.
