I am about to enter a new chapter in my career, and life altogether really. This will be a bit of a personal blog, but its also going to explain why im making the changes i am and what it means for the future- both for me and for you guys who love my work (huge thank you as always!)
This year has been TOUGH. Probably my toughest yet, in business, finances, personal life and add a remortgage on top of that… it is a year id quite like to get over and done with. I have had to make huge sacrifices in all areas of my life to enable me to get through this year- some of which i dont think i will ever not be sad about. All negatives aside, it has forced me to look at EVERYTHING i do. Look into my strengths and weaknesses, and come up with a sort of loose plan to hopefully get things to improve all round.
I LOVE drawing and painting your pets, and animals. We all know animals are my main passion, and it all just makes sense. I will still be doing lots of animal themed artworks in the future, but for now they are going to take a backseat whilst i get stuck into some new subjects & concepts for my artworks. I found myself getting a bit overwhelmed constantly drawing to order, not necessarily drawing the pieces that inspired me, and i was focussing on the short term of my art business rather than the long term. My lead times were getting way too long, and some pieces were taking way too long to complete. I need to get this working long term!
So i have a handful of portraits to finish before i take on anymore commissions- i will be posting on my social media and also those on my email list will get an email when spaces are opening up. There WILL be some before Christmas- but not lots. Email me anytime if you would like to discuss in advance.
UPCOMING COLLECTION
