About Me…

I have loved drawing and painting all my life.  It started as a small child, trying to copy everything that my brother Andrew did- he was a natural talent and leader in the field (at my house anyway).  I studied art at high school and then university but due to chronic shyness and an inability to recognise my own talent and self-promote, I chose not to pursue it as a career.  Thank goodness that we have social media and the internet now!

A family and a series of different jobs ensued- with spare time filled with creating, crafting and occasional drawing.  As my children grew, I worked in school as a volunteer, a teaching assistant and then a primary school teacher.  I really loved my job, especially art class and art club; children are so enthusiastic and keen to try new things- we had a great deal of fun creating and getting messy.

I planned to do more art when I retired, then 2020 came along- a real life changer for many.  A cancer diagnosis and surgery helped me concentrate my thoughts and think long and hard about what I really wanted to do with my life. 

So, in 2021, I took the leap to focus on Art and here I am! 

Life throws all sorts in your path and I decided I would use this as an amazing opportunity to chase my dreams.  I am really lucky, with support and encouragement from family and friends I can now indulge my passion for art, working at home and spending time with my two lovely dogs.  I feel truly blessed.

Please look at my work in the gallery above, or better still come into Craft Inn to see it up close and contact me via my website or FaceBook pages. I hope you love what you see, Jane.
