About me

‘Art doesn’t just happen by accident. It is about pulling out new tricks and trying new things’ - Nicholas Meyer

Hi, and thanks for stumbling upon my website!

I’m Accidental Vix, an interior designer by day, generally creative by night and accident prone at any time! My art, and even this website, may not have happened by accident but it all started with one.

The idea of a website to promote not only my own but other art, design, illustration, craft, and general creativity came about when I broke my hip and shattered my femur and had plenty of time to fill many a sketchbook with ideas, doodles and moments of insanity! In Nov 2011 I had to have yet more major surgery which has only spurred me on to do more creative challenges, this time involving more textiles inspired by our honeymoon to Malaysia.

This website is my attempt at pulling out new tricks and trying new things to keep engaged with the creative world around us and to hopefully inspire others to appreciate design, and be a part of my creative world by owning my illustrations, baby accessories, and textile art onEtsy and Luulla and soon to be in a new shop in Harrogate in July 2013 so watch this space.

I can also be found tweeting on Twitter, chatting on Facebook, and ‘sketching’ on Flickr!
