a great specimen, relic and fossil. An artefact of old. Where mindfulness begins... This beautiful and unique journal is an original suminagashi painting by Jules Smith - ‘Eolith’ - printed onto this stunning Mind Journal cover. Made for creatives to unleash the spilling’s of their mind.♥ Writing things down enables a higher level of thinking and more focused attention. The act of writing forces your brain to process information in a more detailed way and develops your thought process. This journal makes for a beautiful gift that cannot be found anywhere else and is a wonderful expression of creation.
My personality test described me as a spontaneous idealist and I have to agree. I am at my best and liveliest when playing with new, creative ideas. I’m a great believer in freedom to express without restraints and being passionate about your work. If what you do doesn’t bring you joy then you shouldn’t be doing it; you’ll never do it well.
I am a creator with two passions: writing and photography which I combine together to create art philosophy.
Writing: Whilst I have had many freelance roles in this field writing for tabloids, magazines and businesses, my preferred style is of a whimsical nature. I like to observe people, life and situations and find the humour within. I enjoy reaching into the deeper emotions of readers and making them feel. I write in a storytelling fashion that enables me to engage with the reader and paint a visual picture that they can relate to, or empathise with.
Photography: I am never without a camera as I can always spot an opportunity for a great shot. I am often found in the most odd positions to get the result I want. I’m a very visual person and can find the banal interesting and the ugly, beautiful. I like unusual angles, macro and texture in my pictures. To me, photography is like instant art with the most spectacular results.
Strengths: Accidental life coach and practicing mentalist.
Weaknesses: Bad hair days but sexy hair made me what I am.
Dreams: Floating above castles in the air, from a pipe.
Realities: What? Again?
Likes: Hammocks on beaches with a margarita in each hand, Apple products to an alarmingly, unhealthy degree, junkets, travel, reading, exploring, bacon, freedom, red lippy, chess, backgammon and word games. Would like to be best friends with Tyrion Lannister, Stephen Fry or David Walliams.
Dislikes: Hierarchy, control, English weather, black pudding, long queues, strawberries, maths, internet failure and spiders.
Synopsis: A free spirited, quirky soul with a passion for the fanciful, that won’t go out in the rain unless there’s a tarantula in the living room.
