Last November I embarked on a new creative journey when I signed up to start Rachael Taylor and Beth Nicholl's new DO WHAT YOU LOVE online course in Surface Pattern Design.
In a couple of weeks I start Module 2 of this amazing course with these amazing women and I am completely blown away by what I have learned in such a short time. A whole new world of colour and creativity has opened up to me using my computer and photoshop as tools to turn my drawings and paintings into repeatable patterns and new designs. I just can't wait to learn more!
And to further inspire me and fuel the fire to create even more I had the wonderful surprise of waking up this morning to find a couple of my designs featured (with my amazing fellow very talented students from all over the world)on the most wonderful PRINT AND PATTERN BLOG! Thankyou to Marie and Beth and Rachael for your wonderful support and encouragement!

And life is busy...I have coupled this course with another of Beth's DO WHAT YOU LOVE courses to turn all this creativity into a thriving creative business! This week I have thrown my heart and soul into class with mixed media artist Kelly Rae Roberts and have started HELLO SOUL HELLO BUSINESS! I just can't wait to see what creations, people and life changing AHA moments turn up next!
