The last few months have been tougher than expected. Two days before moving house, I broke my ankle, which turned the entire process into a slow and complicated ordeal. But despite the challenges, we’re finally settled — and I now have a dedicated studio space in our new home, something I’ve wanted for a long time. After the move, we took a restorative trip to the Lake District. The landscape, the wildlife, and the quiet pace were exactly what I needed. I came home with a cam

This year brought a moment I’ll never forget: my artwork was selected for exhibition at Bristol Zoo. The piece is a portrait I painted in memory of Jock, the western lowland gorilla who passed away at The Bristol Zoo Project earlier this year.

I had an inspiring online meeting with Adrien , one of Simon’s team members. He saw the passion behind my work and believed in my vision. That moment felt like a turning point — a spark of validation and momentum. So here I am, laying the foundations for my own creative business.

Circular Artspace Exhibition, October 2025 A lot has happened since the BS5 Arts Trail — and I’m still glowing from the experience. That weekend didn’t just showcase my work; it reignited something deeper: my passion for creativity and the joy of sharing it with others. The trail gave me confidence to step further into the world I love. Since then, I;ve showcased some of my art with Circular Artspace in Fishponds Bristol, they support local artists.

Art has a unique way of connecting us to the world around us. For many, it serves as a form of expression, a way to communicate feelings and experiences that words often fail to capture. As a disabled artist, my journey into the world of acrylic painting has been both challenging and rewarding. It has allowed me to explore nature in ways I never thought possible. In this blog post, I will share my experiences, techniques, and the joy of creating art inspired by the beauty of
