Shelly Gardiner

I am a qualified physiotherapist, wife and mom to two beautiful girlies! I absolutely love working with people, especially young children but I have always longed to be in the creative world as this was always my passion growing up. I loved art in school, and you would always find me painting, drawing and crocheting in my spare time. I love being creative and for so long I didn’t have my creative outlet as life, as it does, unfolds in its beautiful way. Truth be told, my little family and I were packed and ready to emigrate to the UK which fell through last minute. After selling our home and both my physiotherapy practice, I was left somewhat empty. I always love to believe that when one door closes, another one opens just when you need. I took a deep breath and dove headfirst into a new skill of handcrafting watercolours and here I am today! I have truly appreciated every minute of learning, adapting, correcting and finding my path in the world of watercolours. In watercolours, I have found myself again and I am so thrilled to be able to share this with you all. I have learned that it is never too late to change your path. I hope you enjoy my paints just as much as I have enjoyed handcrafting them. I look forward to seeing all your incredible works of art that has come from using my watercolour paints.
