Hurray I've kept it going!!
I am happy because this time around I have succeeded to continue blogging. Although I had intended it only to be about my art, somehow everything else has started to creep in. It's become more of a scrap book of ideas, good and bad. Of course my pictures are predominately there but so are my friends, family and my every day. There are also other things by other people, art or otherwise that I love - that inspire me to be creative and in turn hopefully I may do the same for someone else.

Lucid Moonlight, Liquid Sun 1m x 1m
This is my the first painting I did that made me realise that I had a direction to go somewhere with my painting.
Pink Sock Soda Pop 1m x 1mThis is the second, which was inspired by a Paul Smith Ad that has a pink sock on a rug that has stripes on the side. It also looks like Mickey Mouse is visiting although this is purely by accident.
Trailer Park Eden 1m x 1m
One of my favourites with a hint of a landscape behind
Falling Leaf Caresses 1m x 70cm
This one is inspired by - dare I say it an Ikea rug!
Sticky Sublime 1m x 70cm
Helterskelter Hurricane 2m x 2mMoving along the lines of noise
Emma Hill, Subtropical Storm Chaser 2.5m x1mChasing the sea into the eye of the storm

I started a blog a year ago in an magazine, and didn't get very far. I am hoping maybe this time I will keep up with it! Above are some examples of my previous works.
I only got as far as what is written below.
So 2 years ago:
13th November 2008
I live in Surrey with my husband and two young daughters. Although I have an Art History degree, I consider my art education to be gained while being cabin crew for BA. The foundations of my art practice are based on eight years of direct searching and exploring art and culture globally. Five years on, with a couple of girls in between I’ve been exhibiting and selling my art with New British Artists. I taught Art at a local men’s prison, using art as a visual language for communication. What next? Make more art, move on and embrace the change.
Doodle dot doodle. Outside in, Inside out.
It’s about finding my way. Opening up and developing my art, to make some mistakes and to move on and embrace the change. How? The journey begins with little more than a doodle with a few dots here and there. Along the way outside influences are borrowed and taken in, then from inside my art comes out. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t.
******************
Hi, as you can guess I’m new to this, there is never a good time to start and I never quite feel ready so I might just as well get on with it. Painting: I painted big pictures with lots of dots; although the formula has worked for me and the style is easily recognisable I feel the need to move on, to take my art somewhere else. Why, because I’m bored of it, I guess. Where and how I get there, I’m not sure, this is all part of the journey of getting me on my way.
I'ts hard to explain my artwork so it's easier to take a look.
