hello creative soul,

I'M ABBY

An artist, a wandering witch, a creative guide,  a creatrix dedicated to guiding women on a transformative journey to reclaim their creativity and embrace the magick of art, nature, and spirituality. 

​

LIVING MY TRUTH

I offer a cyclical, nature-led approach to artmaking that honors the natural ebb and flow of creativity.

 

I BELIEVE that art is a JOURNEY, not a destination, and I'm here to GUIDE you along the way.

​​​

25 years ago I began my art journey. There have been many obstacles along the way, and grief knocked me totally off course. But my creativity transported me back and showed me the way.

My art practice showed me how to HEAL my wounds and nourish my SCARS.

 

It brought me to the sea on the East coast of England where I now live with my art college sweetheart. Navigating the next chapter of my journey through the threshold of mid-life and peri-menopause.

"Abby is an inspiration to work with, her wealth of knowledge blows me away and has opened up so many new avenues for me in my art practice. It feels such a gift to have found her and she has restarted my creative glow after many years of it being hidden."

My journey has taken me to the wild edges of myself.  On a deep exploration of the mysterious shadows, the liminal spaces.

 

that is where I met my artist

​

LET ME MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE and take your hand to step through the threshold to a pathway to meet the artist who lives in your heart.

​

There are no false steps, only the next steps. They are all necessary

I love dolls and tiny things and surround myself with them in my studio.

my stone and shell collection is getting a tad out of hand.

I have a penchant for collecting vintage things; fabrics, haberdashery, kitchenalia, bottles (so many bottles) art materials, books, and stationery.  I love the stories they hold.


I can't be without my digital SLR with a vintage lens, harking back to my analogue art school days in the darkroom.

I'M A BIT OF A TECH NERD.
I love learning new things and have embraced digital technology in my work since my art college days in the late 1990's.

Tea has to be Earl Grey with oat milk and coffee black (only in the morning) just for reference.

I swim in the sea, but only when the sun shines.


Apparently, I'm pretty rare. A INJF and a very good listener.
