I had always been creative, drawing and doing little bits and bobs. However, I hadn't explored painting until I did my Nat 5 Art in 4th year. I started with painting acrylic animals as we had to pick a medium for our final exam. After this, I had a natural progression into painting, with starting to paint a bit more in my free time and experimenting with mediums. Going through college and uni meant I had stopped for a few years, due to the pressures of studying. Since graduating and picking up painting again as a hobby, it has snowballed and I fell in love with painting - finding the courage to post my paintings online and open an Etsy, even getting quite a few sales! I have also opened up commissions and started selling merch with my prints on them!
