The end of an era
I made the decision 3 years ago that I wanted to become a full time artist. I drew up a 5 year plan with the help of the Design Trust and set to work on growing my business whilst holding down a pretty full on and demanding job. Despite the pandemic my business has grown to an extent that I've achieved what I needed to within 3 years to make that jump and give up the day job.
Scary? Not really. It's a big decision but it is a good decision.

Making marks
I have an artist friend who not only creates beautiful abstract paintings but has in the last couple of years started to make her own tools out of bamboo. I've been watching Bina's instagram posts over the last couple years as she developed her bamboo drawing tools and thought it was about time I gave them a go!

As I move towards becoming a full time artist my experience earlier this year of running independent workshops in Cornwall has really helped me realise that there are opportunities out there to do what you love doing, exploring new places and meeting and working with like minded people.
