number 847 I was going to say I’d come back to you about this then I landed on the word procrastination and faith. So I guess I’d say I use my art to heal & rebuild/maintain strength primarily through procrastination and faith. I’m really interested in Art as Therapy, more so since having cancer. That probably best explains what makes me ‘me’ currently. inspired by Hazel King

number 845 What makes me, me? In work and play, I give 100% of myself. I’m fiercely protective and caring of my family. I’m passionate about my art, wild swimming, and music. Each of these provide peace, joy and a feeling of belonging in this world in their own different ways. My art practice is intuitive, using semi- abstract/abstract mixed media and collage to express the feelings I experience when swimming or walking in the landscapes in Ayrshire and beyond. My mind becomes quiet when painting, I lose track of time and live in the moment. I can’t imagine doing anything else. inspired by Lesley

Community I’m luck to have a great community around me in my family and friends who are the greatest supporters and make my life better.
My passions Other than the important people in my life, I am passionate about striving to be the best version of myself and helping others to do the same. Life can be hard but life is also short, I’m trying to make it a good one.
I love nothing more than doing yoga outside in nature, on the beach followed by a dip in the sea! + Yoga helps me in so many ways and in so many aspects of my life. It is not just about the poses (asanas) but the principles to live by, the importance of the breath (pranayama) and mindful compassion.
Showing kindness and compassion to myself and others are key values in my life that make me, me.
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” ― Desmond Tutu

number 830 It’s similar to questions I’ve always struggled answering, because I’m not sure if I even truly know the answer myself yet. However for me, I have such a strong emotional connection to feeling nostalgic. I associate smells and songs (in particular) with extremely specific memories, often resulting in overwhelming emotions and feelings. I’m a very sensitive and emotional person, something I’ve struggled with in the past but have since worked on accepting it instead of fighting it. inspired by Steph Green

number 828 I think what makes a person, not just myself, is definitely the amount of empathy you carry and how you give it to people. There is no such thing as too much empathy and the world could definitely do with more ❤️ inspired by Sarah

I learn by trial and error, and persevere till I reach goals . My favourite feeling is peace . My core strength is my vulnerability. What makes me me, I think is my openness to change and adaptability to different circumstances. In my creative field this leads to constant experimenting and pushing the boundaries and persevering till I reach new horizons. inspired by Madhumati Manda

number 824 Born in Cambridgeshire to an English mother & Scottish father. This is very significant to me and numerous childhood visits to Scotland makes me feel it’s my spiritual home, in spite of living in England all my life. I am the youngest of two siblings, a brother and a sister who I see regularly and am close to. I’ve been married to Pete, a comedy writer for nearly thirty years and we have identical twin sons aged 26. One of our sons is currently living in Colombia, while the other is in Scotland. Pete and I continue to live in London. I worked for many years in the public sector as a family aid worker and latterly as a student disability advisor in Higher Education before becoming a full time self taught artist 15 years or so ago. It’s been a challenging but interesting transition. I’m in the throes of being evicted from my studio for the third time this summer due to the gentrification of SE London… inspired by Kate Murdoch
