I was creative from a young age, if there was paper and a pencil laying around I would be scribbling on it or making something out of boxes and as I grew Art become my favourite subject at school. Though once I left school I pursued other hobbies mainly horse riding. As long as I can remember I've always been an animal lover, always wanting to go and 'stroke the dog ' or pleading with my parents every Christmas for a pony. The dream of owning my own horse never came until I was in my mid 20's. I now own an Appaloosa called Harley and 3 dogs, Honey a little heinz57 who was rescued off the streets in Spain as a pup, Misty a blue merle Shetland Sheepdog and her daughter a tri coloured sheltie called Brockley.

​

Sadly I lost my 'horse of a lifetime' Freckles in November 2018 after 20 years together

​

When Foxy my first Sheltie died I wanted to do something with her ashes and after searching keepsakes online, I came across resin keepsakes along with horse hair bracelets, but as I lived in Spain at the time it was hard to find anyone local so I started creating my own.

 'Foxy Keepsakes' was established in 2014  and my keepsakes business is named in her honour

​

My own animals have had their fur and hair snipped to use in some of my samples much to their disgust,

but at least I have a reminder of them all.

​

I lived in Spain from 2004 and 2016  but I'm now living back in my home town of Nottingham
