What a beautiful post! I love how you’ve connected your chance encounters to so many wonderful things. The weekend in Berwick sounds magical! Your window looks fantastic!
Thank you ☺️ It just reminded me how much I enjoy all the emotions that come with experimenting (fear, slender, frustration followed by joy of figuring out).
A wonderful read and I feel really inspired to create a picture book illustrators group now. I love the Illustration Ladies group I'm in, but it's big (150+ illustrators) and people have all sorts of different niches. This has definitely made me long for a more picture book-focused group.
Thank you. Definitely peer support is crucial to navigate the industry and keep your creativity going. So start a group and who knows? Maybe you’re doing your own retreat in the UK (or anywhere) with your friends one day!

Me too! xx
The oil drawing is delightful. It makes me grin from ear to ear. 💚

Oh Momo! Aren't we lucky that we had those four inspirational Berwick days! : )
We are! I just can’t believe it was only three weeks ago 😱
