Pursuing creativity and surrounding yourself with positive influences can transform your outlook and unlock new opportunities. This month, I share why finding a mentor, someone to guide and inspire you, can be the turning point on your journey. Let this be a reminder to seek out growth, encouragement, and the right support as you chase your goals.

In this month’s blog, I explore autumn art, book recommendations, illustration inspiration, and cosy creative moments - from favorite reads to sketches of fleeting autumn days.

It felt as if the weather changed instantly as soon as September arrived. I've redecorated my room, changing the setup and colours from summer pinks and blues to beige, green, and rustic orange to match the season. At the start of each new season, I find it's a good time to set new intentions and goals. This month, after reconnecting with some old friends and spending time with people who uplift me, I've felt a shift in perspective.
