Becky is a South Wales-based artist and designer who only started painting seriously a year ago, fitting it into early mornings around a full-time career and two young children. In this interview, she talks about unlearning perfectionism, turning her conservatory into a makeshift studio, and her new project collecting 100 memories of summer from people to shape her first body of work.

This month's Artist Spotlight shines on Cath Crowther, a West Yorkshire painter whose bold, colourful abstracts carry the emotion of every chapter she's lived through. From leaving a co-owned business behind to painting her way through starting over, Cath shares her process, her studio, and the honest advice she'd give any artist ready to share their work with the world.
