This week’s Artist’s Diary is all about the magic of creativity — how you can begin with one idea and, by letting go of control and following intuition, end up somewhere completely different.
I’m exploring a new technique and allowing the process to unfold without forcing an outcome. It’s messy, surprising, and very much about trusting the shift when the work wants to change direction.
Come along as I develop two very different pieces and see where the magic leads.
🎨 The Artist’s Diary is my ongoing vlog series about life as an artist in the north of England — the experiments, the hard bits, the surprises, and the honest reality of making art day after day.
