Yes! When I wasn’t able to physically create work, I was still working in my head – coming up with new ideas and taking time to develop them. I realised I had set boundaries for myself in terms of the work I produced – limiting the colour palettes and sticking to themes I thought people would expect to see from me. If this period has taught me anything it’s that life is fleeting and you’ve just got to go for it, so I’ve gone wild and it’s been quite liberating.


I’m really loving David Newton’s work, so vibrant and happy. I like how he uses no digital processes to create his prints, using cut-out shapes and drawings for his positives.

We’re hoping to go camping and hit the seaside in some favourite spots in Devon, Galloway and the West Coast of Ireland. And keeping everything crossed for sunshine, pub and pals!
