Remember this Johnny Nash song: I can see clearly now the rain is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sun-shining day That’s a pretty good description of how I’ve been feeling lately. Although at the time of writing the post, …
Today I’m revealing why I’m embracing the beauty of age and how I’ve become a more self-aware, happier person, only due to my four decades of experience. Twenties In my twenties, I was an emotional car crash. Most of it is a blur, to be honest. I ran off with someone 9 years my senior at the age of 18 …
In my last post, I created a sumptuous blue and teal winter colour palette. A colour trend I have seen a lot in interior design lately and a colour scheme I’m really drawn to. However whilst researching the moodboard, I saw many beautiful interiors, with gorgeous artworks, but the art was rarely credited. Art for your interiors really shouldn’t be an …
For the entire month of September, I’m excited to guest judge another creative challenge on Instagram. The very talented ceramicist Katie Robbins aka @ceramincmagpie, asked me to judge the #WIPSandBlooms creative challenge on my favourite social media platform.

I just wanted to expand upon that post over here because, frankly I’m passionate about the power of play. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old …

Do let me know if you have any advice 😉 Leave a comment below, on Steller Stories or over on my Instagram account. And Finally… You have one more …
Self Doubt. It’s shitty. It’s a creativity killer. But it’s also an inevitable part of life. For artists, makers, photographers and creatives, it goes with the territory. And I’ve definitely had my fair share. Just before Christmas I had a massive bout of self doubt. Like getting tangled in a fishing net, it got hold of me and dragged me down. I lost …

My growth on Instagram I would describe as slow, but steady and definitely a labour of love. Like I said at the Brighton Etsy team Instagram talk last week, Instagram has been a fantastic …
