Meet Pixie Willoughby
Pixie Willoughby was born in Lincolnshire in 1972. She qualified from the University of Lancaster with a BA hons QTS in English Literature and Theatre Studies. For the next thirty years, Pixie taught primary aged children in the UK, Portugal and Thailand. Whilst teaching in Thailand, Pixie developed her love and interest in art. In 2012, she was commissioned to paint 99 paintings for the bedrooms of the hotel Tropicana, in Pattaya, Thailand. Following this success, Pixie returned to the UK in 2020 and held several successful exhibitions. Her paintings now sell world wide.
Pixie believes that 'anything is possible.' "I believe art is creation. It's in the rustling trees, it's in the air we breathe, it's in the songs we sing, it's in everything. I am proud of my art as it has a voice - it speaks to me, it speaks for me. It reveals my heart and my soul. I hope my art speaks to others too - that it comforts and confronts, that it challenges and questions, that it demands all and nothing. My art is my books, my music, my history and the history of others."
Pixie is committed to giving people the self-belief, motivation and opportunity to experience the calming, healing qualities of art. She believes creativity can reduce stress and anxiety, and can increase positive energy and happiness.
'Art can be a healthy way to process and express complex feelings. My healing journey continues and painting is my constant companion in this process.'
