Although painting commissions is nerve-wracking and hard work and not really what I want to be doing, I’m very grateful that people are coming to me and liking my style of work enough that they wish me to paint specifically for them. It does place my own ideas on the back-burner, but I’m happy that I’m given quite free rein with the commissions so my creative energy is still fuelled. And I wouldn’t paint a composition or subject that didn’t appeal to me in the first place.
I was very small when I began to draw so I can’t remember when it all started. I do remember that as a little girl my bedroom walls were covered in my drawings of horses and animals and that I wrote my own stories and illustrated them - I still have some of them today.
