In the middle of editing this troll lesson for next week and I was just hit by a wave of calm just gazing upon this super cute little face.

And many of you will know that over the years I`ve made many a innocent little creature and I`ve talked before how creating innocent, sweet characters have a direct calming effect on my nervous system. I don`t mean it metaphorically but biologically. My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. I feel a calm settling in.

Apparently; there’s science behind this: soft, friendly faces trigger oxytocin and parasympathetic responses linked to safety and bonding, while stress hormones drop. ✨🙌✨

But there’s something else too.

These characters don’t want anything. They’re not impressive, persuasive, ironic, or self-serving. They feel like little support characters whose only message is: "I’m here, with you, just sitting, being present for/ with you." ♥️

I think innocence signals something rare in adult life; presence without extraction, without needing something from you. And my body seems to trust that instantly.

I keep making characters like this because they *regulate* me as much as anyone else.

Leaving this here as a quiet reminder that gentleness has a real nervous-system impact.

I went heavy on the scribbles this evening. I call this: A Face Made of Storm and Stars. X

Rapunzel – Freed.

I went on quite a journey with this painting. Reading the original Grimm version of Rapunzel deeply moved me: her long, beautiful hair cut by the witch who raised her, her exile into the wilderness while pregnant with twins, her survival of all that hardship, and finally her becoming the one who saves the prince.

To me, this is true female empowerment. I wanted to paint Rapunzel as defiant and transformed. And crucially, I wanted to give her long hair again - not as a ladder, not as something to be used or admired by others, but as a reclamation of power. A part of her body that was once appropriated becomes fully her own again.

Teaching on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales; I`m loving diving deep into the original fairy tales, myths and stories and bringing one or other aspect alive of these stories on the page.

This piece is a `paint over collage` painting. We start off by laying down our collage elements and then layer paint, crayons, markers, acrylics, gold leaf etc on top. A deeply layered and moving process. 😍😍😍

I adore how this came out. I`m particularly in love with the lavenders, hot pink and layer collage pieces in this painting.

Friendly reminder; you`ve only ever been fabulous babe. 😃 Spread the word! You are fabulous, loved and awesome. 😊 ♥️♥️♥️

Ok, tried to make a super sweet, magically enchanted little fairytale castle with a super cute and friendly little dragon `watching over it` (he`s sleepy here, but when you wake him he`ll produce a small but fierce little `roar` that scares off the crows!) 😉. I think I managed it! I went through a few frustrations with it though, but now I really love this painting. 😊 ps. I used some gouache in here and I think as mixed media artists we should use this medium more!! It has some really interesting properties! I think I`ll be exploring this medium more in the new year. 😊

Ps. We will painting this on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales of course!

🎨✨ Magic of Art with Me – SNEAK PEEK!✨🎨

One of the greatest joys of my life is teaching art that goes beyond the canvas—art that helps you navigate life’s ups and downs, deepen your connection with yourself, and infuse every brushstroke with meaning.

In A Year of Magic and Fairy Tales, I’m so excited to share how art can become a source of transformation. Together, we’ll create pieces that are not only beautiful but deeply personal and healing. Your artwork can be a compassionate friend, a kind mirror, and a window to your higher self.💛

Art has an extraordinary way of whispering what you might need, reflecting your inner world, and encouraging you to show yourself more kindness. It’s truly magical—a space where creativity, healing, and wonder come together—and I absolutely LOVE sharing this journey with you!

✨ Here’s a sneak peek at some of the first lessons for A Year of Magic and Fairy Tales!✨

In these classes, I’ll guide you step-by-step to explore magical stories in ways that are joyful and deeply personal. It’s all about captivating your canvas and your soul.

🌟 DON’T FORGET!🌟
You can get 37% OFF A Year of Magic right now with the code MAGIC37 at checkout.

Where is the lie? 😆

How are you today friends? Here it’s raining and raining and raining so much that there are floods in the little village I live near! I’m in full on hunkering down mode with warm clothes and blankets while prepping my sessions for A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales. 🧚✨🦄 It’s always so interesting to me to see the prototype next to the lesson version. I never used quite the same colours/ materials and it provides unexpected interesting twists! This is called ‘Wish Upon A Star’ and we plant the seeds for our wishes/ hopes/ intentions for the year in the ground she stands on. 😊 How are you? Sending love. ♥️♥️♥️

I’m so excited to share this new magical character with you! Here is my take on the Fairy Godmother archetype. She feels like a wise, starry grandmother who carries whole galaxies of kindness in her eyes. ✨

I realised I haven’t painted many older faces before, I didn`t always feel good at them and so creating her was a bit of a challenge and it also felt surprisingly moving. There can be so much beauty in the softness of older faces; the lines, the life lived. I wanted her to feel powerful, warm, and full of that gentle, cosmic “you’re safe with me, darling” energy. Like so many of our own beautiful grandmas made us feel.

It made me think about how rarely we see older women portrayed as magical, radiant, enchanting … and how deeply needed that is (Hello society erasing older women!). So here she is in all her twinkly glory. 🌙💫 How did I do? 😊

She’ll be part of our big creative journey in A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales, and I can’t wait to guide you through painting her step by step.

ps. Blues/ Lavenders/ Deep Purples seem to be my colour obsessions right now! 😉
