Entering the Yoodle-verse

I have always been fascinated by the power the world of art holds.
When I was younger, I would tuck myself in my room with a sketching pad and a set of pencils and let my creativity run wild. To others, the pieces I created may have looked like childish doodles or a mishmash of colour. But, to me, these drawings expressed emotion and individuality.
Since then, I have become captivated by the meaning behind art and the journey each artist has pursued.
Last year, I had the opportunity to talk...

Art can often be burdened by an abundance of stigmas- from it being seen as a ‘risky’ industry to enter, to visiting galleries being seen as an ‘elite sport’- it can often make it feel inaccessible and monotone for many of us.

Swim School

18/04/24
Too often, the abundance of expectations that accompany life can be overwhelming- some days it can feel as if the world is against us all. 
However, it is days like this in which I turn to music, and the power it holds to unite a world which seems to separate many of us.

Last wee...

Social media: an incredible tool for allowing creatives to connect across the globe, yet many of us are aware of the darker side this platform holds.  Too often, the media expects us to conform to their abundance of expectations, labelling anybody who defies following these as an ‘outsider’. After ‘doomscrolling’ after what feels like hours on end, it can feel as if our lives are monochrome compared to the rose- tinted feed of social media.  This needs to end. Social media d...
