Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

Hi! I’m Bethany, and I’m all about finding creative ways to make people smile. That includes you! I love God and I love worship music and you’ll find me playing it constantly in the background, wherever I am.

Life isn’t always easy (in fact, with cancer it’s been super hard) but I believe that finding reasons to laugh and ways to stay positive can help. (Check out the silliness of The Dream I Had Last Night and you’ll see what I mean!)

In July 2024 at the age of 15, I was diagnosed with a large bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in my shoulder and arm. Life as I knew it (for me and my family of five – plus our puppy, we can’t forget her) was flipped upside down, as you can see in I Am Going To Be Bald. I’m still undergoing treatment, and it’s rough, but it’s making a difference and I’m thankful for that.

In the middle of all of this, as you’ll see in Nothing Stops An Artist, creating things continues to be my outlet. And… my dream to become an author and illustrator is coming true. Watch this space to hear when my first book is released so that it can make you smile, too!

Not only that, but an award-winning tee shirt design that I created has been launched into a brand all of its own, with the help and support of some amazing people who wanted to support our family. Grab yours here if you’d like a tangible way to stand with me in this battle against cancer: bethany.threadz.nz

There you have it, a wee bit about me. You can never quite capture it all in a page, but hopefully that gives you a bit of an idea of who I am and how I tick. Thanks for stopping by here today, I hope you’ll stay awhile and have a browse!
