Welcome

Growing up as a little girl I always had a fondness for drawing. I remember I would often have a pad and pencils with me on holidays for example and I would particularly like to draw characters from Disney.

​

My passion for Art continued at School and I studied the subject at both GCSE and A Level. Even then I had a particular interest in realism and studied photo realism for my A Level Art coursework.

​

Despite being creative and loving to draw I never pursued Art as a career and in fact my journey led me down a very different path of building a Holiday Let Cleaning business in the Lakes which I still manage to this day alongside my husband.

​

The business and our team of cleaners grew rapidly and it soon became rather stressful. It was towards the end of 2016 that I returned to drawing as a form of stress relief to take my mind off the demands of the business.

​

I had never really drawn animals before always preferring human portraiture but decided to have a little try.

​

As soon as I started drawing again the passion was reignited and I just couldn't stop!

​

I decided to post a few pieces on social media and the response was so heart warming that it gave me the confidence to continue drawing.

​

My husband started throwing ideas around about opening a shop and once that seed had been sown I just could not get the idea out of my head.

​

We were lucky enough to find our first shop in Bowness on Windermere very quickly and opened our doors in March 2017.

​

We had such amazing support with the first shop that when the adjacent shop became available in September 2018 we jumped at the chance to expand the business.

​

The gallery is due to celebrate its 6th Birthday this forthcoming March. I am so grateful for every single person who has supported my dream along the way. I simply wouldn't be able to continue my journey of creativity with out you.

​

Thank you x
