In high school I had to choose between art and economics, and you guessed it economics won. . Fast forward though career and kids, I was sitting in the car park after my weekly art class and I turned to my friend and said, ‘This is it’, my youngest is starting high school and this is my chance to follow my dream of being an artist. . I realised I was missing out on loving myself and when I make art if feels like home. . I secretly applied to art school as I was scared that I wasn’t living my true life but wasn’t ready to tell my loved ones. . Art connects with the real me and now I express myself through emotive fibre artworks combining my love of textiles and art. . Find more of my art on my Instagram
