I'm so excited and honoured to be a part of 21 Secrets Live, a special 5 year anniversary special of this amazing art journal playground organised by Connie of Dirty Footprints Studio. Being a part of 21 Secrets 2013 was honestly one of the best things I have ever done, and the artwork produced by the participants has been wonderful. It has been an amazing experience to share and interact with so many like-minded creative peeps :-)
Click *here* to see the amazing line-up of teachers for the live event next year.
