Back when nugget was more nugget sized and didn’

Back when nugget was more nugget sized and didn’t karate chop my organs daily 👶🏻 My unexpected inspiration, strength, and my reason for pursuing my dream of being a fine artist creating original art.
-
COVID has definitely impacted everything, a lot. I like to try and find positives in every situation, it’s how I’m wired. I adapt when I must. Challenges and obstacles give me more drive to hustle and succeed. This year has been a kick up the ass in so, so many ways.
-
I want my son to be brave and strong enough to follow his dreams too, whatever he’s up against.
-
My main goal is to have my first collection ready before bubba is born next year 💪 What are your goals for the next few months? 🌟

Figuring out how I’m going to varnish this guy.

Figuring out how I’m going to varnish this guy. Since I’m pregnant and then I’ll be breastfeeding, doing it myself is off-limits for months due to the toxic stuff in the varnish... soo the whole process is taking longer than I hoped 😬 Involves buying extra protective gear, waiting for a dry day so it can be done in the garden shed, and hopefully enlisting some help whilst I watch on FaceTime inside with snacks or something?! 😆🤞
-
Once varnished, it’s another two weeks or so until the varnish has settled and he’s ready to go to a new home. (I’ll be using Golden Gloss MSA Varnish w/UVLS for any of y’all wondering!)
-
This painting will be available hopefully soon, please email or DM for enquiries or to reserve 🥰 (‘Wild’ - acrylics on canvas, 28’ x 36’)

✨ Details ✨

This corner of my painting is my favourite. I love the thickness and texture of the paint, the combination of colours and the loose marks for the wings. Was all a happy accident ☺️
-
I wrote down the things I’ve loved and hated during my time experimenting. I think to be a happy, successful artist, three things are necessary:
1. You have to enjoy the process
2. You have to love the end result
3. Enough people want to buy your art
-
For years, I always had only one or two, never all three, and I burnt out badly. I stopped having fun. The more I play, the more I fall in love with creating art again 🥰

Experiment no. 4, another quick small canvas paint

Experiment no. 4, another quick small canvas painting 🎨
-
Intentions for this piece:
~ Paint from my thoughts, not from a reference photo
~ Create more of a scene
~ Focus on tone, and not get caught up in (or care about) tiny details
~ See what it’s like not to go crazy with paint at the end (verdict: I much prefer a lil crazy 🤪)
-
Took me ages to decide on my next original piece. Got a bit overwhelmed. Ran myself a bath, turned the lights off, lit a candle. Self care methods have somewhat been limited since pregnancy (wine, dying my hair, gym, wine, dancing, DID I MENTION I MISS WINE). Then I thought, just paint this moment. Don’t make it complicated. Why the heels? ...why not.
-
p.s. This painting is available and there will be no prints 😉 8’ x 8’ acrylics on canvas ❣️

How I packaged my large drawing! This original pie

How I packaged my large drawing! This original piece sold over the weekend and is off to its new home today 🥰 Lots of people asked me about packaging a large drawing, so I decided to share how I did it (this is just what I did, you can obviously use alternative materials, etc)
-
This is a 50 x 70cm coloured pencil drawing on Pastelmat paper. Since rolling is NOT recommended especially with this paper, it’s gotta stay flat 😬
-
I’ll put these in my story too and save to highlights. I hope this helps those wondering 🥰 Any questions please ask 💜

I’ve been learning about two modes of working: p

I’ve been learning about two modes of working: product and process mode. I’ve been stuck in product mode for the last 10 years, and whilst this is fine, earned me money, my work has never really developed and it started to bore me so much I almost gave up art completely.
-
So... hi process mode 😁 I’m outside my comfort zone, making mistakes, taking risks, exploring and failing. It’s daunting, but I haven’t felt this buzzed about creating art in a decade.
-
Which brings me to Experiment #3, a self portrait 🤪 8’ x 8’, acrylics on canvas. Another of my biggest passions is dancing... I started at 22, got hooked and it changed my life. I became a qualified pole dance instructor and used to dance almost everyday (less so now due to growing bump 🙃✨). For this piece, I wanted to experiment with tones, contrasts, and a looser style.
-
The more I experiment, the more I’m finding happy accidents, styles and processes that get me excited.
-
Would love to know what you think 🙃 (Thanks for sticking with me as I swim around in pregnancy exploratory art phase lol 😁💙)
