My Journey
Have you ever dreamt of making the space around you a bit more artistic and unique? Maybe acquire a special object, which would bring you joy every time you look at it? I can help you to achieve all these goals by sharing the knowledge I acquired throughout my life changing love affair with art.
Although I was born into an artistic family, my path back to art has been anything but straightforward. I grew up between my father’s studio and my mother’s museum office, absorbing creative energy and artistic skills from an early age.
Drawn by the promise of success, I ventured into the world of finance, spending 20 years in the highly competitive field of metal trading. In this fast-paced, male-dominated industry, I rose to become a senior leader and team manager. I built businesses, spoke at international conferences, developed a global network, and most importantly, mentored and inspired many like-minded individuals — proving that a woman could thrive in this challenging environment.
The turning point came with the loss of my father — a tragedy that reconnected me with my creative roots. I trained as an interior designer at the renowned KLC School of Design (now West Dean) and co-founded an interior design studio, blending artistry with functionality.
At the same time, I began attending life drawing classes and studying oil painting under maestro Tom Davies at the London School of Art. Later, I discovered the joy of painting en plein air, guided by Andrew Barrowman at the St Ives School of Painting, combining my love of hiking and the outdoors with artistic expression.
A few years ago, I turned to ceramics — a practice that taught me patience, humility, and calm during a stressful chapter of my career. Clay became both grounding and liberating, connecting me to the earth while fostering friendships within a welcoming creative community.
Today, I draw inspiration from organic forms, flowing lines, and the natural world — infusing ceramics, painting, and interior design with a sense of soulful imperfection and timeless beauty.
I am very excited to welcome you to my world, sharing my works and inspiration behind the creative process. I am delighted to help you to find your artistic vibe and transform the space around you!
