Close up of a piece inspired by the bouquet my husband got me last year for our anniversary! That was a lovely surprise. #florals #floralart #sunflower #summerflowers #floraldecor

This has to be one of my favourite exhibitions and art festivals of the year. It has been inspiring and so much fun both as a member of the public and as an artist. For the third year running I shall be based at A&S Milward Estate Agents. Come along and see the huge range of work from all the artists, be entertained by musicians, and enjoy a cream tea in one of the nearby cafes! Remember to look out for my big orange butterfly banner to find me, and say hi! 😁 Xx #belperarttrail #belper #derbyshire #derbyshirelife #derbyshireart #artexhibitions #livepainting

Resin for those moths. Little tip: leave the resin longer than you think you should to dry. If however you don't, and end up putting a thumb print in it, don't worry! Just let it dry, sand it down, then do another resin pour on top. It's amazing how as good as new it looks afterwards.

Can you guess the fairy tale?

Which design do you think for a banner on an L stand? It may have to be spotted from some distance away, which may sway your answer. I'd appreciate any thoughts and comments you have. :) Xx #belperarttrail #artexhibition #stratfordartsociety #bourtononthewater

The last part to my MDF moths. (Go to feed to see whole thing.) I have since resined this piece so I shall put a picture of that up too. I think lots more experimental pieces will be coming now since I finished this one! The folklore: It is said that if you see white moths, they are bringing you a message from someone on the other side of the veil. #beyondtheveil #mothmessages #whitemoths #spirituality #dreamyart

NEW PAINTING! These 'Ghost Moths' will be on show (and for sale) at the Kineton Art Exhibition, second weekend of May. Let me know what you think. Xx #ghostmoths #surrealism #mixedmediaart #fantasyart #fantasypaints #instapainting #spiritual #spiritualart

I imagine this is true for people whether it's a piece of art, a special dinner, homes, or even family. I remember being really chuffed when I made a fishing hook after spending hours digging for roots and carving pieces of holly and yew. Also, if I learned, I could use it to catch my dinner! What have you made that has made life or a moment a little better or brighter? #creating #happylife #bushcraft #indiantools #fishhook #carvingwood

I will never understand why some people hate moths. This moth is an Emperor Moth which is one of the largest moths in the UK. The male moths fly in the day, and the females fly at night - I don't know why that is. Like many adult moths, these guys don't eat and live as winged insects for 3 or 4 weeks. #moth #emperormoth

What do you think about this as an artist? I'm not sure I've ever met a 'confident' artist. Some may give that impression in demos etc, but I know they probably have butterflies and perhaps slightly more sweaty than usual! I also have never met an artist who is certain something they have created would sell or be loved by someone else, and are always happily surprised when someone loves an artwork so much that they take it home. Having said all that, I'm always telling myself and my students to 'have faith in yourself', but then again that statement always comes about when we're having a wobble! What are your thoughts?
