11.20pm | an optimum time to start work

about

Creative explorer. Based, but not created, in Birmingham. Old enough to know better but still young enough to learn. I started scribbling on walls when I was a toddler, so my parents encouraged me to aim the crayon for bits of paper. I scribble and daub in a slightly more focused way these days, and live with my husband and two cartoon-behavioured cats in the most land-locked city in England. Give me something to draw with and you’ll keep me quiet for hours. Give me something shiny and I’ll be distracted in seconds.

The blog will be updated with work periodically – from rough and ready first sketches through to final work, along with general blurb about art and design, personal influences, opinions, blogging and Birmingham.
