I’m a Yorkshire artist and designer – I love to create beautiful things and I love to help you create beautiful things too, so that you can soothe your soul with creativity.

Interesting Facts about Me!
- I was almost named Boudicca after the Celtic warrior queen!
- I love to draw flowers, nature and animals with pens and markers but then I complete my artwork digitally in Adobe Illustrator for a distinctive look (I'll show you how, just below...)
- I spent my childhood searching for King Arthur in deepest, darkest Wales!

- I also teach drawing and creativity skills with the same idea in mind – teaching drawing in the way that comes to you naturally and that you love – with both free and paid online drawing resources and courses to download
Here's How I Create my Artworks
I create my art by hand initially, with pens and markers on card and then scan my drawings into the computer.
The drawings are then imported into Adobe Illustrator and I combine them with my own ink-painted fabrics to create beautiful artworks and designs.

Let me take you by the hand and tell you about why I create my art...

I create my SVG files in a similar way – taking the drawings and converting them to a cutting-friendly format using Adobe Illustrator.
After I've created the design, I always cut it out on my Cricut Maker machine, usually in card or paper, just to make sure it cuts well with no apparent faults or difficulties so that you can be sure you're getting a design that's well-created and works well for your project.
- I want to make sure that the cutting lines are smooth and even.
- I check that cut-outs are large enough to cut decently...
- And that small details aren't too thin and delicate.
- I make sure any layers work as intended and look good!

Teaching Drawing Your Way
I’ve got more than two decades of various artistic and design career experience spanning interior design, garden design, colour consultancy, technical drawing (maps and plans), as well as textile and surface pattern design.
I’ve taught practical interior and garden design skills to thousands of homeowners online. And I’ve personally consulted with hundreds of people to help them to choose paint and décor colours for their own home.
So I know all about how artistic design works, how to balance composition, how to use colours together, how to draw neatly and correctly… but I also know that art is more than just something technical!

It’s personal and creative - it’s your style, your personality, your way of doing it - and that’s what makes it enjoyable and fulfilling for you to do and interesting for other people to look at and enjoy too…
I’m absolutely passionate about sharing this - it’s vital for the emotional, mental, and physical health of us all to be able to connect with our personal creativity.
It’s important to me to be able to help you feel confident in your drawing and art and to help you learn to enjoy drawing and art in this personal, free, and creative way, too…

This is how drawing your way was born -
Because I believe that art isn’t just technique - it’s creativity, it’s personal, and it’s a part of us all that we desperately need.
Drawing and art is for everyone and it’s not about making it difficult to do with fancy techniques that take years to master!
I teach drawing skills, while sprinkling in tips and techniques for how to connect with your inner passions to create awesome, personal art.
