The story behind Full Of The Joys...

This pair came together when I had no choice but to prioritise my own wellbeing ❤️ and are one of the best selling set of prints on my website! 

It’s so easy to fall into a trap of focusing on work and caring for your family, neglecting your own needs when time is finite, but it’s a false economy!

I learnt the hard way that if I don’t look after myself I can’t look after others. I pulled my back while working day and night on my collection and constantly lifting a two year old 😩

My body rebelled and I had no choice to sit out for a little while and recuperate. After a week of gentle exercise and yoga I came back to these paintings feeling lighter and more energised and that was reflected in the featherlight strokes that took over the work 🤩

I’ve always enjoyed yoga but it’s taken a back seat since I became a mother. I vowed that would never be the case again and I would commit to a daily practice! ☝🏻

Obviously that didn’t quite happen. No one is perfect. Up all night with a sick child and self care is the first thing out of the window… but I’m way more consistent than I was and that’s enough ❤️
