A Visual Narrative Through Art: Autobiographical & Conceptual Fine Art
What does your ideal home look like?
This is my 48th home, not actually mine because I rent it. But it is still my home. It’s a little bungalow with a lot of my artwork hung on the walls. I have a studio room where I paint. The conservatory is full of plants and a comfy chair where I can observe the garden and watch my resident hedgehogs trundle about.
The garden is totally enclosed with plants I tenderly care for. This is my ideal home. It’s my safe space. I love it 😍
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
🤔 NOTHING!!! Tears, but not of joy.
Why do you blog?
Why do I blog?
I am relatively new to this blogging. I’m not entirely sure why I blog 🤔. But it is a platform to express one’s thoughts, ideas, passions, and it enables me to speak, divulge my feelings etc. quite freely.
But more importantly, I enjoy, intrigued, and love to read other peoples blogs. I have learnt so much.
It has opened up my world of thoughts 🤗. It has given me ‘hope’ in mankind.
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
Every morning, when I awake, I sit in my garden with a freshly brewed mug of tea. I reflect on the previous day. I inspect my garden plants and I’m always in awe of how beautiful nature is.
Every day I write in my journal/diary; my thoughts, feelings, observations, happenings…everything. That is something I’ve done since I was a very young child. I couldn’t imagine not doing that 😱, definitely a daily habit!
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
‘How to get rid of fungus gnats on a houseplant?’
My gnat killing regime consists of;
Sprinkling ground cinnamon all over the surface of the soil.
Set up vinegar traps.
Insert slices of potato into the soil daily.
When the soil is totally dry, drench the soil with hydrogen peroxide.
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth all over the surface of the soil.
Spray the room with lavender. Repeat all these steps for a fortnight to a month.
What hardy little blighters they are 🤬🤬. They are driving me nuts!
What TV shows did you watch as a kid?
Hmmm… I wasn’t really allowed to watch TV as a kid. The only time I remember watching TV was with my parents and we watched Dr Who and Top of the Pops.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
Going to the beach last week to Oxwich Bay, Gower in Wales. It was a beautiful day, I love being by the sea watching the sun setting.

What do you love about where you live?
I love my home. It is full of memorabilia that I have collected on my travels. I have numerous pictures that I have painted over the years hung on the walls. My small garden is my sanctuary, my safe space. I live in a beautiful Country (Wales) surrounded by mountains and close to the ocean. What more can I say 🥹

I often feel in awe of nature, a persons resilience, kindness, strength, achievements and creativity.
