Art
Welcome to my art blog! I am no expert, I just love art and anything creative. It is packed full of my artwork and anything I have tried as an artist. I would like my blog to inspire your own artistic journeys so please take a look, try any of the ideas I have shared and please let me know how you get on.
If you are reading this, you must have some kind of an interest in art. Whether it is photography, painting, sculpture, or anything else artistic, I hope you find something on here to interest or inspire you. I started blogging to provide a place for art to evolve and be celebrated. I hope this can showcase how artistic discussions can help our individual art develop.
For me, one of the beauties of art is that you can’t get it wrong, it is personal to you and an expression of your own unique creativity. This doesn’t mean that we don’t all need a little bit of help, advice or inspiration from time to time, or even just a sounding board to help our art develop, finish a piece or learn a new style. So please take a look at my art and ideas and lets get creative together.
If you'd like to get your hands on some of my art check out my Shop or my Zazzle Store.
