Studio Notes
Welcome to Studio Notes — my little corner for meanderings, musings, and all the in-between bits of life as an artist. Think of it as a mix of behind-the-scenes studio stories, experiments (some successful, some… less so!), and whatever sparks my curiosity along the way.
I’d love for you to join the conversation — if something here sparks a thought, makes you smile, or inspires an idea, drop me a comment! It’s always a joy to hear from fellow creative adventurers.

I would normally describe myself as an optimist with a healthy dose of realism and a touch of cynicism thrown in for good measure. Most of the time I potter along quite happily, but every so often, something happens that throws me off kilter, leaving me somewhat discombobulated (what a fabulous word that is!!).
