WELL BLOODY ’ECK! This Yorkshire lass has only gone and bagged herself some Arts Council DYCP funding! 😭🩷

Honestly I’m still in shock and feeling incredibly grateful for this opportunity. It means I can invest in my practice, paint more, learn new skills, travel for projects and receive mentorship from the incredible @shauna.anseo 🙌🏼

The timing couldn’t be more perfect... Just as I was ready to throw in the towel, battling imposter syndrome, mum guilt and questioning whether I was good enough, this came along as a much needed reminder to keep going! ✨

Here’s to backing myself, pushing my practice and seeing where this takes me! Bloody buzzing! 💖🔥Thank you, Arts Council England! 🫶 @aceagrams

Also a huge shout out to my partner Tom @northernmuralco for all of his support, guidance and putting up with my despair over the years 🤣💖
