Such a turn-a-round for me these past few weeks! I am living in a small village just outside of Cambridge UK and have signed up for some botanical illustration workshops for June and July! Joining the University of Cambridge Botanical Gardens, I have seen beautiful summertime white and bright orange poppies, loads of iris's and fantastic colours galore as I stroll being inspired to get working! The space is small where I am renting but it out in the country so am getting around by bicycle and will be collecting some high end coloured pencils through the local art shop here over the summer as I buy individually for my works based on colour pallets. Diving into coloured pencil work is perfect for this place and space for fine detail can be accomplished through this art form.

Being back in the country of my birth has affected me greatly, hearing my own language flow beautifully from the lips of Cambridgeshire folks is lovely; the etiquette, scholarly way and a bit "frumpy-garden" look is so endearing to me! I am thrilled and wide open for an amazing summer!
