Welcome to My 30-Day Art & Home Inspiration Challenge

There’s something quietly powerful about committing to create every day.


So for the next 30 days, I’ve joined a challenge:


👉 To share one blog post each day for the whole of April.


I'll be exploring art, interiors, and the small details that make a house feel like home.

This is the beginning of that journey.


A Little About Me


I’m an artist and photographer based near Shrewsbury, inspired by the natural world—wildlife, landscapes, and those fleeting moments where light, colour, and atmosphere come together.


My work begins with my own photography, which I then develop into painterly artwork using digital techniques, textures, and custom brushes or use as inspiration for watercolour paintings.


The aim is always the same:


👉 To create pieces that feel calm, natural, and easy to live with.



Why Nature-Inspired Art?


Nature has a way of grounding us.


Whether it’s a quiet woodland scene, a still stretch of water, or the presence of a single animal, these moments bring a sense of balance that’s often missing from busy everyday life.


Bringing that feeling into your home—even in a small way—can change how a space feels.

What You Can Expect Over the Next 30 Days


Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing:


  • How to choose the right artwork for your home

  • Simple guides to sizing, framing, and placement

  • Ideas for creating calm, nature-inspired interiors

  • Insights into my creative process

  • Stories behind individual pieces


The aim is to make choosing and living with art feel simpler—and more enjoyable.


Who This Is For


If you:

  • want your home to feel calmer and more considered

  • are unsure how to choose the right artwork

  • love nature, wildlife, and landscapes

  • or simply enjoy thoughtful interiors

then you’re in the right place.


You're Invited

I look forward to meeting you


Janice
