I have been toying with the idea of changing my business name for quite a while now. The thing that has held me back is the fact that I love the romantic story feel of ‘The Peacock & The Printmaker’. The trouble is that I want to expand my repertoire of media and experiment a little but that means shedding the niche of printmaker.

I don’t think there was one specific moment that prompted me to make the decision - I can’t pinpoint it at least. I just know that there has been a lot of change in my life - change with me, disruption in my family and generally things that have made me look at life and business a little differently. I feel braver and more adventurous and that makes me want to create larger pieces with a range of materials that will enable myself to express my ideas and emotions in different ways.
