“ Art inspired by Cornish living, plein air sketching and my own well-being journey”
Here are some things just listed by other crafters and sellers on Folksy.
I create art for my shop from my home in Cornwall, where I live with my partner, 3 children and our cats Peanut and Pip. I have a quiet corner in my living room where I take time for myself and focus on my well-being through art.
Years ago I had a small business called Doodlemakes where I used to create free motion embroidery art and sewn items but stopped as my working life changed and I couldn't spend the hours sewing anymore. However after spending decades drawing which was my first love I began creating art as a hobby to support my well being and then started sharing on social media. Soon I had a couple of people ask for commissions and my love of traditional art has continued to grow.
I love to use a plethora of mediums, I have explored watercolour, inks, gouache, paint pens, pencils however mixed media is my absolute happy place. I find that a picture feels unfinished until I have added some pencil, some paint, some ink, some white highlight. I often have to make myself put down my tools because I could keep going for hours!
I love to draw out and about, I enjoy drawing buildings and people and interesting scenes when exploring Cornwall. I also just enjoy different subject matters so the themes of my pieces change regularly as i rarely stay in a niche.
I like to create art that makes people feel happy or helps them to feel uplifted. I hope that my use of writing or colours in the pieces of art I create inspire and motivate other people. Each of my items is packed carefully to ensure your order gets to you in good shape.
