On her first exhibition in her own studio, she said: "It's nerve-racking but lovely that it's where I paint, and people will be able to see what I'm working on.

"The main aim now is to push my art to the next level, and get my work and name out there."

The 43-year-old found the creative process helped her cope with recovering from issues with alcohol.

She added: "It helped me a great deal through addiction, gave me something to focus on."
