About the author

My name is Rangan Goldsmith, and I am a part-time artist, full-time IT architect residing in Bicester, Oxfordshire. When I am not immersed in IT projects or fulfilling my roles as a mother and wife, I dedicate myself to my passion for painting. Throughout my journey, I have fearlessly explored various mediums including watercolours, acrylics, inks, coloured pencils, and markers. Depending on the subject of my illustration, I often combine multiple mediums to bring my artistic vision to life. I don’t have a formal art degree or training but when you are born with creative juices, a little inspiration and perseverance goes a long way.

For me, art is the ultimate escape to break free from the confines of convention, a sprawling canvas where my thoughts can surge like a wild river. Each month, my newsletter becomes a vibrant tapestry, weaving together captivating discussions, exciting excursions, beloved literary discoveries, and my latest illustrations. Life’s concoction is fleeting and easily overlooked in the vast expanse of the universe. Squandering those precious moments is simply unimaginable to me. This newsletter serves as a rich reservoir of ideas, not just for me, but for every reader, igniting the spark of inspiration and emboldening them to pursue their passions with unwavering fervour.
