"...but above all, when I worked on my art, my<br />

heart would just sing. I couldn’t ignore that any<br />

longer. I knew I didn't have all the time the<br />

world"<br />

Life really would be boring if everything ran<br />

smoothly! After I finished my studies, we<br />

unexpectedly had to move back home to UK,<br />

and yet again, my design aspirations were put<br />

on hold whilst I went back to work as a<br />

Community Nurse. My work as a nurse was<br />

fulfilling and gave me inspiration and<br />

perspective on the road I was traveling, but it<br />

wasn't enough.<br />

It never ceases to amaze me how the universe<br />

will always pull you back into line and redirect<br />

you to the right road and this happened to me<br />

on a few occasions over the years, but this<br />

time - I was listening. I worked by day in my<br />

nursing job, and by night I designed, created<br />

and formed a body of work to show at local<br />

exhibitions and open studio events. My textile<br />

art and small collection of fabrics were<br />

popular, but above all, when I worked on my<br />

art, my heart would just sing. I couldn’t ignore<br />

that any longer, and I knew I didn't have all<br />

the time the world, so after a shift in my life at<br />

the end of 2017, I decided to resign from my<br />

nursing job to pursue Wendy Frances Designs<br />

as a full- time career.<br />
