Personal space The visual artist gives us a peek into where she creates her surreal nature mash-ups

I moved into a three-story house a few a years ago and converted the whole middle floor into art studios, so I'm lucky that I don't have to go far for work!

I've painted most of the walls dark throughout my house as I love a gloomy look, but my studio is the one room where I've allowed the walls to stay white to help with the natural light. I have lamps throughout to help me paint although natural light is always best, so I work mainly through the day and have my desk positioned underneath the largest window.
