Art
My work, as an artist, is inspired by the world around me and my general love of living to the fullest! Although not centred around one subject, in particular, I love to paint animals (including pets) and fantasy worlds, people and creatures.
Mostly I paint digitally but I do use various other mediums such as ink or acrylic paint and sometimes chalk or pastels. I’ve always had a love and interest in art from a very early age but I’ve never seen it as a way of work; until now.

Creating Halloween Patterns
With Halloween just around the corner, I wanted to create something cute – just to be different this year. So I made two patterns, a ghost and a pumpkin.
Digital Art: Fantasy Dragon Dancer + Colouring Page
Fantasy worlds are my most favourite to paint and the characters within them are so much fun to create and draw.
Cute Little Griffin
A griffin is a mythical beast that is usually depicted as a lions tail, body and hind legs with an eagle head, front legs and wings.
Photography
Photography has been a big part of my life for many years now.
As a photographer I love to take photos of anything I find interesting but, I am a little obsessed with macro shots of flowers right now.
At the age of 13, I found photography. My mother enjoyed it so she bought me a wind-up flash disposable camera to take some photos of my own one holiday. There were so many beautiful sights and angles to take pictures from that I couldn’t stop. Since then, I have upgraded my equipment a lot and have plans on changing camera again quite soon – I’ll write a post on that later too.

A Day of Dahlias
Dahlias are very beautiful plants that come in a very large variety of colours and they are great for bees and butterflies.
The Blog
My interest in business and social media is quite a recent thing. In 2015 I started my first blog(blissful tiger) and posted my first post that happened to be a photo of my favourite place in the world. I didn’t expect anyone to find it but within an hour 5 people had loved it. It’s not a lot I know but, for someone new to blogging, it got me hooked.
Now I am doing what I love and helping others to do the same! I write about business, social media, blogging, photography, art, confidence and various other things.
