 | Yeah, I'm good - did you just equate disability with being a bad thing? Cos I've got one more wager. It gets made worse because we built an inaccessible society. Look, I'm not writing an essay - frankly I don't have the energy. Essentially I am just throwing up onto the page feeling safe in the knowledge that maybe 8 people and a close by cat will read this. What is my point? My point is I'm doing life in sprints so I'm trying to make more use out of those sprints without throwing myself into a flare up. Metaphor aside. Use the voice you have when you can- said perhaps more eloquently by Mags: "Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes." Maggie Kuhn So who do you fear? Why do you fear them? Those in charge of every new build that don't bother adding step free access? That deem it acceptable to split another person from their group to enter the building, instead, amongst the bins? Those in charge of big decisions whose money would negate so many obstacle's that arrive alongside their own future disability and overstep the frequent subsequent poverty elsewhere? The writers of the legislation weaving words so dense and hoops so narrow it leaves a plane of existence you can't get out of? |
Did you know you a disabled bus pass doesn't work before 9:30am and after 11pm?
Did you know you can't use a lift in a fire.
Even if you can't walk.
WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
To circle back around-
my point is that we can view disability advocation through the lens of

everyone is simply an amount of time from being disabled.
Age, illness, injury (temporary or not).
It benefits everyone to think with an accessible frame of thinking.

What can I do?
Hire disabled people.
Listen to disabled people.
Take on board suggestions from disabled people.
Stop thinking in a 'them' and 'me' binary.
Talk about this stuff.
Lie in bed for 3 days and see how quickly the fun wears off- don't have time, oh me neither babe.
Ask if people need help and respect their wishes if they say no.
Good god put more fucking chairs and benches out.

Patreon - let's do this!
 |  |  |
I did it! I made one!
this has been sat in my drafts for ONE YEAR haha.
Right now I know I'm shouting into the void but -
It's exciting and boy is it new ground and I want to build something here by the end of 2026.
I am fully aware I'm not Netflix - but I want to create excellent things and I can't do it without support.
I named the tiers after flowers - I just love a bit of flower etymology and folklore to their names. I try to incorporate dried flowers into my recent work so I went with the theme.
Bellis Perennis- 'Daisy Field' - £1 tier
new beginnings, Norse mythology.
Agrimonia Eupatoria- 'Fairy Wand' - £3 tier
thankfulness or gratitude, English.
Lunaria Annua- 'Luna Sky' - £10 tier
honesty, sincerity and prosperity, English.
All tiers will offer,
I plan to provide on Patreon alongside my YouTube as a sort of 'members only' area.
It's where all the best stuff will be - and will land in your inbox away from social media.
You can drop in and out when suits you.
Thank you for checking this out - leave a comment of your favourite flower if you read!

Stop leaving a light on for the enemy.
 Leaving a Light on for the Enemy, 2026. Acrylic on canvas. 40 x 50cm x 1.5cm. | Guess what we're doing next week?Performing! It's a big, camp, jazzy 80's musical about love and weddings. What the fuck has that terrifying portrait got to do with that?Oh. That? It's my reminder to myself and to everyone else to stop leaving a light on for the enemy. Kick em out of your head, your heart and your nervous system. I know you're shitting it. But you got this. Turn the light off, kick 'em out and do what you need to do. Where would you be now if you hadn't believed them? Hadn't believed who? Oh, I think you know. Where would you be if you hadn't carried insult as fact? If you'd realised you have the power to turn the light off. That's all. Big hugs. |

The Good
Sunday scaries are so much less scary when it's a job that is flexible.
Good god this is huge.
Mornings are usually quite slow (and I'm still working with some residual unfounded guilt about this) - but it means I can mostly function 4/5 days a week and that is with evening plans IN THE WEEK. Consider me astounded.
Clocking in at a desk where the 'to do lists' are all building a business of my own is, in the most part, a wonderful feeling.
This is a win for anyone but it's amazing for anyone who knows chronic illness.
Making a sale - either a print or a commission.
You best believe I cheer for each one that comes in.
Forever grateful that people collect and enjoy my work.
This is not the only reason I make art - but it is a huge part of why I went into business with it. Having the literal payoff hit the bank feels good. I get some for me and the rest goes back into the business to help it grow. Paying yourself a wage when you have known surviving in the red month to month, is an unmatched feeling.
Meeting other creatives!
The joy to know you have something to offer and to also understand their journey at the same time.
Whether they take the shape of friends, mentors, collaborations, inspirations or all of these at the same time.
The boost of meeting with another gives you a skip in your step and proves - it is possible -see!
The combined audacity and joy to call myself an artist when people ask 'what do you do' is like fuel to me.
At first it felt weird - but the longer I treated my work as a business the more confident I felt in saying it.

The Bad
Not knowing where your next payment is coming.
Is terrifying. Trapped somewhere between hustle and trust the universe - it's up and down in the first few years (and so I repeat to myself). Some months it feels like an abundant taste of the future you hope for. And some months it is watching your reserve float start to chip away at itself. It's scary and it's exciting and it's important to keep talking about things with loved ones alongside having a solid plan of what to do next.
Not knowing what to do next to grow. Juggling multiple avenues of potential income all with varying ways of showing up - and knowing which one to lean into most is so hard as a small business owner. Your time and effort has to be split and it's not always clear which one is going to pay off. Even studying your past successes and failures isn't a failsafe way to gain custom and following.
The nerves that turn up when you need to 'market yourself'. I can't speak for everyone - but I'll say showing up to a job when you're not feeling your best but are guaranteed a paycheck feels easier at times. Having to 'market yourself' and seperate yourself from being only your business is difficult.
Getting overwhelmed in an artist doomscroll and suddenly feeling very small and insignificant.
gET. OFF. YOUr. Damn. PHONE. It's really hard to fall into the 'I am a content creator' trap when you have decided to try and exist on the platforms. Let's face it - it'd feel pretty lonely a lot of the time if you didn't.

The Ugly
Sometimes it feels a lot like you're having a phone conversation with a mute.
Following up cold leads is anxiety inducing. Sending out a mailing list with no clear indication of the impact feels like insanity. Posting and not knowing from the insights how it was received because engagement was low. It does feel a lot like 'what's the point' - IF you let it. There is a point - you go back to your original why and your original realisation - I'll make art no matter what.
The little voice in the back of your head in quiet sales months that is freaking out and telling you to give up. It can get really loud if you let it - so you really have to look after yourself. I'm talking meditate, talk to people, go for a walk, put your fucking phone down, get into the right space physically and re remind yourself why you do it. Go and look at some art.
When you realise you've been sucked back into social media gratification (despite your best efforts), putting too much effort into a post and getting 3 likes. There's a reason it's such a lucrative business for Zuck and his mates ok? They know what they're doing. Write down your whys and values and goals and keep going back to them.
When worry starts to keep you awake. Take a break. Sleep hygiene is HUGE.
When you try hard with an aspect and it doesn't pay off. YOU decide if it was worth it. It might have sown a seed somewhere and it's all part of the bigger picture.
Recognising that your original audience will have shifted now you post differently. Also that the original audience probably doesn't even see your work anymore. Yeeeesh - a big one. It's ugly. Sometimes it would be easier to assume that your follower count is 20 and whoever you physically spoke to that month ok?
You have to accept the fact progress is going to be slow. And then find further acceptance it will be slower because you do not have the stamina of a Wall Street yuppie on a shit load of cocaine - that you may in fact have the pace of an 85 year retired person on a stroll despite the fact their knees hurt and can tell it's going to rain.

The Boring
The spreadsheets & The menial tasks that take forever and you haven't done anything 'creative' in days.
Oh the weird cold sweat and brain wiping blockade I come up against dealing with numbers. But numbers are the stable blocks the business is built on - so I fight through it.
There really isn't much I find 'boring' with this job. I'm so thankful for the mentor support I have to help me deal with the aspects of business that fry my brain. I plod on through the admin with my easel beside me and know it'll be painting time again soon.

The Take Away
It is worth it every single day I wake up to try again.
It feels like I answered a calling more than 'chose a career'.
I finally answer the question of 'where do you see yourself in 5 years' with - 'making art' - which I never was able to answer before.
So even though it's been a quiet winter of seed sowing - I'm looking forward to what will bloom come summer.

As a small business the best thank you's that I can offer are for those most closely supporting.
I cannot always rely on social media as a way to connect - it's a battlefield at times.
I've watched my social media views tank the more I try to actually function as a business over the last year.
But I refuse to go down with this ship!!
I like snail mail
and I like snail email.
Because 1. snails are cool
2. sometime's things are better without instant gratifcation
My mailing list is the best way to access the good stuff.
My mailing list is the customers who come into the metaphorical shop to say hello and we have tea together.
My mailing list is the people who know I don't survive on likes and comments alone - but it sure does help you feel less lonely.
It let's me drop to you an email to read at your leisure with the most important stuff in it
and most importantly...

First things first - The Elephant Rooms in Draycott is an absolute vibe and if you haven't been:
Go. They offer so much and such a variety of things to get involved with, benefit from and be inspired by it astounds me. I first popped in when I moved back to Derby and immediately was like - this is my vibe. So when Sukhi spoke about hosting a sharing night I was a big YES! This is me getting home afterwards - that suitcase and holder are full of my works having just been shown to everyone who attended. But the biggest smile is about all the amazing people I met whilst there. I did some doodles during - it absolutely beat trying to doodle people on the bus. |
|
|
In answer to the question posed by the opening image:
Why does being seen matter? Because it lights the fire in you to keep going. That people do want to hear and see and share and support - despite what your 4am thoughts would have you believe. Importantly- The right people and the right crowd can do 1000% for your confidence. When the week spent alone or online feels like shouting into the void - you literally cannot beat meeting with other people and sharing and giving support. It can feel like a big step in a journey of your soul. |
Snuggled into the scenery
|
We set up 8 paintings on show:
The Forest Collection: - 'Bury a Friend' - 'Pushing up Daisies' & - 'Forget me Not' Two from The Archway Series: - 'Creation' & - 'Morgaith' The first I ever did: - 'You' - 'Dead Deer on the A45.' and -'Blinded by Love.' Mostly because that is what I could carry - but also, because I felt those held a more spiritual energy that would fit in with the vibe of The Elephant Rooms. |
|
As I mentioned during the evening - my Originals For Sale Page is in the works.
It will be open in March.
Thank you for your patience.
To gain early access feel free to join my mailing list too!

Being invited to speak about the paintings was very nerve wracking! Probably because I didn't script myself for once - and I have branded myself as a rambler. Perhaps it is endearing. (Perhaps people were wondering if I would get to the point.) But regardless - you get what I am - unedited and pure vibes!
I often let the paintings speak for themselves - offering a little guidance here and there about their inspiration or background. Sometimes a poem. So going more into depth about a few felt raw but also exciting. The conversations with people following this whose genuine intrigue flowed were wonderful. I'm so glad I got to meet so many likeminded and encouraging individuals. I met some wonderful talented people too - who have a better way with words than I - either through song or poetry - or even no words at all - just music speaking. I look forward to seeing you again immensely. |

Sukhi's work:
I have to mention Sukhi - in charge of bringing the creatives we met together.
Her art is pictured just above and a very poignant poem from her book below.
Thank you Sukhi!

Voice of an angel &

And a truly lovely rendition of Little Star - as the audience sang along. "Little star, little star - it's a wonder you are what you are". 
|
The lights are dimmed.
A halo of light around the mic. Bex is at her guitar and we are welcomed to Fawn Music. Everyone's conversations trickle out as the softest but most powerful voice rings out. Look I'm not going to do her justice - just have a listen - it'll make your day better... 
I know I wasn't the only one who shed a tear and we travelled through her collection of songs.
I must also mention how truly lovely it was to hear the notes of the gentle hand pan played in combo. Accompanied later by Lucas's beats in that cosy loft space. It was a feast for the senses with food available for us all too by Rachael. |
... the words of an angel.

I wanted to share some phrases from Tanvir's poems that stuck with me and I'd doodled them down as he delivered his poems. I invite you to check out more of his work. It is so deeply moving.
"...free from the grammar of flesh"
"...we are like sandcastles waiting to be washed away"

Thank you to the Elephant Rooms social media team who's photos I have borrowed for here - I forgot to take many!
It was a transformative evening,
I always look forward to my return.

Some ways I forced myself to log off.

I did it.
I broke up with the owl in our year of the analogue lord 2026. A rare, beautiful day. A lovely evening - quite screen free - my brain sighing in relaxation. I'd make it to bed. And the cry of the owl would come for me. And I would go and pick up my phone. And the light would blind and wake up my brain. And I would misspell desayuno for the millioneth time. I had to break up. Because let's be honest - learning 'music' because you cannot do this right now is not learning Spanish. |
|
|
If I serious about learning Spanish again I will make myself get a book from the library.
❤️ The Library ❤️

Borrow lots.

Keep my work phone ugly. Make it ugly. Make it not pretty. Turn it off at 5pm or 6pm or when the 'work' day ends. Ugly work phone has the addictive apps on it. Ugly work phone has grey everywhere. Ugly work phone lives on my desk and occasionally my sofa when I am working from the sofa on slow days. We are doing much better with screen time with this compromise. It's a bit like quitting smoking and vaping - but for now it is much better than the hell hole I was in last year. Thank you Rhianna for Ugly Work Phone donation. |
Ways I'd love to be able to log off.
A Woman Reading by Claude Monet 1872
Alternative world where I don't need money from making my art or interaction that it organised online.
Wow it's great we skip everywhere in the eternal flowers of spring.
My sleep is impeccable.
My attention span is healed.
But in all seriousness:
Wow it's great we skip everywhere in the eternal flowers of spring.
My sleep is impeccable.
My attention span is healed.
But in all seriousness:
- find a permanent base to host my art so I don't always have to attempt to advertise it myself.
- outsource the really time consuming/not good at parts of my job to people who are good at it
are probably more attainable goals to reach for that should lessen my screen use.

Why it feels anxiety inducing to want to log off.
It feels like your life is on your phone because we innovated everything to be on there.
Breaking up with duolingo felt huge because that's how they wanted it to feel.
Not being constantly reachable feels rude because that's how they want you to feel.
Not carrying your phone room to room feels wrong
because that's how they want you to feel.

Taking the leap to somehow reintroduce one of these badboys on the left to my bedroom.
Because morning Zoe is a bargainer. And she bargains with the Devil of scrolling. And she falls asleep with her thumb out and blocks newly made friends' wives on Facebook forcing their husband to message them seperately with 'Has Natalie done anything to offend you?' Adam. Natalie. No. God no. I am sorry. And also howling with laughter at this always. |

My Cookbook Shelf Gains Autonomy and Speaks:
"Zoe. Look. I know if something is aesthetic it blends into the scenery after 11 minutes in your brain. But the next time you Google something to cook. I am begging you. Reach up. Read us. Cook with us, we are so pretty." |

Make myself book out an 'analogue day'. Where my goal is to be as screenless as possible. Take it seriously. When I first moved in to this place we had no internet for a while and I was forced to do this - because I had no data for a while too. And it was insane how much stuff is connected to the internet. But it was fascincating to find ways around it. And to get bored. |
The last time it truly felt like I logged off.
Probably here in this photo. Idk.
Social media - never heard of her babe.
