"It wasn’t that I hated the clothes.
I just didn’t recognise myself in them anymore. 🥴

" Let's face it, we all have days when all we wanna do is 'blend in'.
But more and more - most mornings in fact - I was choosing a version of myself I no longer wanted to be!

 Not dramatically.
Not even consciously.
But just enough to feel . . . well, kinda “off.” 😐"

"Then one day, standing in front of a rail of tees that used to feel so 'me', I had an aha moment:

This isn’t a midlife crisis.
It’s a midlife awakening!
 And it’s starting in my own wardrobe! 👕"

Maybe you know the feeling? (And you don’t need to be anywhere near mid-life to know it!) 😉

That slow, creeping disconnect. That moment when you stare at something you’ve worn for years and feel -- well --- nothing.
 Not anger.
Not rebellion.
Just a kind of quiet grief 😔 —for the person you’ve mainly outgrown.

Because, if you’re like me, the truth is: 

You’ve been dressing to disappear.
You’ve been playing it safe in cotton —
while your soul’s been howling inside for recognition,
for your very own, highly personal, unique expression! 🎨🧨

But maybe, like me, you didn’t even notice it happening?

How the T-shirts slowly became 'neutral', 
How you stopped experimenting. 
Stopped reaching for things that made you feel something. 🌈

Or maybe, for years, you've been wearing someone else’s story - instead of your own? 
(Iron Maiden Tour 1988 - really?)

If this is you, now's your chance to break that pattern. 🔄💥

That’s where I was. 
Not twenty years ago.
Not even two. I stood in front of my wardrobe and thought:

“This can’t be it. Not now. Not after everything I’ve lived through — everything I’ve now become.”


And so I painted. Not on canvas — though I’ve done that for decades. 
But on cotton.
With intention.
With fire. 🔥


I made tanks and tees — not to impress anyone — but purely to express myself.

Not to fit in — but to feel real again.
 
Not to look “young” —
But to FEEL ALIVE. ⚡🧡

And that’s how Threads of Fire began.
With just one shirt.
Just for me.
Then another.
For me.

Each one hand-painted.
Each a kind of vow:

“No more pretending.”
 “No more blending.”
“This is who I am now — and I’m showing up and shining!” ✨

Soon I had more than I could wear — but I didn’t want to stop. The fire was threading through me! Painting the tees became a kind of rhythm, a meditation.
 And then it hit me: maybe there are others who need this fire too? 🙌

So I began to paint more to share.
To share with those who want to experience the raw beauty of something unique, something hand-crafted, hand-painted (by someone who’s lived and breathed art for over 40 years). To share with those who are ready to shine!

I offer these garments, not as fashion . . .
 But as presence you can wear.

 As colour you didn’t know you were allowed to feel again. 💫

As a quiet rebellion for anyone who’s outgrown their threads! 🧥🔥

 Because it turns out, mid-life isn’t an age — and it doesn’t have to be a crisis.
 At any age, you can feel that same disconnect — between who you used to be and who you now know yourself to be. 🌱

It’s always a choice — how you see yourself. And that's the start of creating a new life.

I started making different choices within my wardrobe, and have seen myself slowly begin to bloom.

Is now the time for you to make some different choices too?

“I didn’t expect a T-shirt to feel like a turning point. But wearing this — it’s like stepping into the version of me I’ve been circling for years.”

“This was technically bought for my partner... but now I keep stealing it. Something about it just feels alive. I’m hooked.”

“Wasn’t looking for ‘wearable art’. Didn’t think it was my thing. But I put it on, and… something shifted. Feels like it was made for me before I even knew I needed it.”

“It’s hard to explain, but this shirt made me feel more like myself than I have in years. As if someone painted a piece of my inner world and said, ‘Here. Wear this.’”

“I’ve never bought art. And definitely never worn it. But here I am — in a hand-painted tee — feeling like I just said something important without opening my mouth.”

“I’m not loud. Never have been. But there’s something about this that speaks for me. Softly. Fiercely. Honestly.”
