Hi everyone,​ I am Daisy;

​

A storyteller at heart, a self-taught illustrator, and someone who finds magic in the little things, whether it’s designing a new keyring, drawing a plush-themed adventure, or snapping photos of my trusty companion, Captain Bulldog, as we explore the world together.

​

My love for art began when I was very young. I always dreamed of becoming an author and illustrator, filling notebooks with doodles and story ideas. But life had other plans. During my teenage years, I struggled with depression and psychosis. At age 19, I was sectioned for the first time. It was a frightening and isolating time, and I experienced further admissions after that.

​

Thankfully, through a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and support, I’ve gradually learned how to manage my mental health. Art became more than just a hobby, it became part of my healing. After my last hospital admission, I took part in an art psychotherapy group. It helped me find ways to express feelings I didn’t have the words for, and taught me that creativity could be a powerful tool for self-understanding.

​

These days, I’m not quite where I want to be, but I’m in a much better place. I currently work Front of House and am retraining for a future career I’m excited about. In my spare time, you’ll often find me with my iPad in hand, bringing to life new characters and adventures — especially Rags, my gingerbread-style creation who’s full of charm and cheek.

​

I also design and sell my own art prints, stickers, and keyrings. Keyrings will always hold a special place in my heart! Each piece I create is a little window into a world of imagination, comfort, and playful joy.

​

Another constant in my life is Captain Bulldog. My plush sidekick and muse. Whether we’re visiting a café, wandering through a castle, or watching fireworks, I love capturing our adventures through photos. He’s not just a travel companion — he’s a reminder of courage, comfort, and how far I’ve come.

​

Art, photography, and storytelling continue to guide me, and I hope that through my creations, I can share a little light, laughter, and hope with others, too.
