What Exactly is a Limited Edition Print?
One of the questions I am asked most often is the difference between a Limited Edition Print and an Open Edition Print.
People often assume that there is a difference in the quality of the two types of print but that isn’t the case, so I thought I would write a handy blog post to clear up any confusion.
In Praise of Heartbreak
When we lose…When we don’t get the life we wanted, the thing we wanted, the person we wanted..we get something worth far more. The opportunity to choose mindfully. The opportunity to choose at all. Somehow, when you’ve lost, and then healed, you can walk forward with more vulnerability and vulnerability is the beginning of true courage.
MidWinter
I’ve always found myself more creative in the quiet days of winter.
Somehow things get slower and more deliberate and I can think clearly.
This year I’ve had more of this quiet time than usual. The snowstorms kept me wrapped up indoors and every time I would leave the house to try and shoot some images, I kept getting pushed back by closed roads and snowdrifts, almost like someone was trying to tell me something.

Concentrating very hard and flying very fast
This past weekend, while I was driving to the Art Unequalled event in Ely, a huge flock of wild swans flew over my car, leading the way for a few wingbeats, and then passed over and flew into the distance. I’m a believer in animal guides and synchronicity so, as soon as I got home, I looked up the symbolism of swans.
And I came across this story, adapted from Medicine Cards, by David Carson and Jamie Sams.
Ask Me Anything – How to Find the Work You Love
If I had any advice to offer on finding out what comes next, it would be this. If you know you’re not currently doing what you really want to do but you have no idea what that is and no amount of brain racking is helping, don’t be hard on yourself. Don’t allow it to lead you to believe that you have no interests, or you don’t really want to be doing anything or that you’re a lazy person.
Maybe it’s just that your perspective needs shifting. You need to get to higher ground before you can see the world unfold in front of you. When you can’t see what’s around the next bend, surely the next logical thing to do is to go to the bend and look around it.

Eight Lessons Learned from my First Year in Business
Although I graduated from Art School in June 2011, I consider that my business was born at the end of August that year, when I offered my work for sale to the general public for the very first time.
