Where it began

I spent over two decades as a nurse, giving everything I had to caring for others. In 2019, after repeated burnout, I made the difficult decision to step away from the profession I had dedicated my life to.

What followed was a slow, quiet rediscovery of joy - through gardening, walking, and making things with my hands again. I returned to creativity without pressure or expectation, and somewhere in that process, something shifted. I learned to let go of perfection. I rediscovered what it felt like to make something purely for the pleasure of making it - not for productivity, not for outcome, just for the joy of the process itself.

That shift changed not just how I approach creativity, but how I approach life.

Why Bosky?

The name comes from an old English word meaning "abundant in trees or shrubs" - a nod to the shrubby woodland at the bottom of my garden, and a reflection of the nature-rooted work I create. I spend time most days walking in the woods and surrounding countryside with my dog, Barley, and I almost always come home with pockets full of natural treasure and plenty of inspiration.

“My eye is drawn to small seasonal details - ferns unfurling, lacey moss, shifting colours and textures. These moments of wonder find their way into everything I make.”
