Alongside working as an HR Consultant for over 40 years, I also ran workshops for women. Some women were attending to advance their careers, while others were wrestling with a lifetime of low self-esteem. At the end of every workshop, I gave each woman their very own ‘motivational’ quote on paper, as a scroll. These scrolls were life-changing – each quote was exactly chosen for them. When I started painting, I wondered if I could combine painting and motivational quotes. I decided that, despite my wobbly hand-writing, I would.
