On Artful Living is a reflective space where I, Carmina, a photographer and creative entrepreneur share my journey through slow living, quiet inspiration, and the art found in everyday moments. From moody landscapes and food styling to heartfelt reflections on identity, burnout, and reclaiming joy, this blog offers a glimpse into a life shaped by creativity, resilience, and gentle magic.
A new studio - first peek!
As we set it up and saw myself into this much bigger, brighter room with soft Northern light and a view of our garden and the fields beyond, I saw myself dreaming of old passions again. Whilst photography remains my one big, burning passion, I am slowly planning a small collection of leather goods to be released later in autumn. I don’t envision returning to leathercraft as my main creative outlet, but I want to keep that pursuit alive, through a few small, intentional shop drops throughout the year.
