How Nicholas Wilton and ART2LIFE changed my life

Sometimes when we are at you are at your most lost, the Universe answers your question with an opportunity.

I watched the videos on design, value and colour and followed the live calls and suddenly I started to see the world through new eyes.

Last month, I was contacted by a German magazine called Frauleinwunderlich (Girl Wonder), a magazine for pin-ups, rockabilly girls and burlesque stars...and artists that like all of these things! They wanted to do a feature on my paintings, and who was I to refuse such a kind invitation? They did a wonderful job of the two spreads, really showing off my paintings of Leyla Rose, Daiquiri Dusk, Miss Hell's Belle and me (of all people). I was amazed that they printed the whole article that I wrote. I love how the issue was called their herzblut issue (meaning doing things with a passion).
