From a young age I have been immersed within the artistic world and have had the chance to be trained as a dancer, develop myself as a novelist and learn the craft of handmade jewellery. I'm interested in all of the artistic disciplines and hopefully I will be able to add a few more to my repetoire before all is said and done. During my adolescent years I recieved a dance scholarship. I was trained in ballet, tap and jazz. As part of my scholarship I was given an apprenticeship and was taken aside to learn how to become a dance instructor. My dancing years were full of lots of fun and I performed at a high level for many years during my teen years. But dancing was not my only love and in my spare time and at the young age of 13 I began to write. This road would take me down the long and arduous journey of becoming a published writer. And in 2010 I succeeded when my debut novel 'Zoe Evans' Possible Worlds the Crystal was published.' But dancing and writing are not my only artistic loves. For many years I have had a love for vintage and original jewellery. In 2010 I began to take my interest in this artform to the next level creating VDezigns6, an online jewellery boutique, with my mother Valerie. Together we run a business designing and making beautiful handmade jewellery. We like diversity and flair and lots of colour and work with a variety of styles. So as you can see I am a woman of many interests. But what is life if we aren't willing to turn our dreams into a reality?
