Author: Lottie Nevin

Lottie is an artist and mother of five strapping children. Career wise she’s a bit of a mixed bag but somehow she’s always managed to make ends meet. 5 years ago at the age of 46 she met the love of her life. Brought together by a mutual friend, she and Pete have traveled the world, made a dream come true in Indonesia and now live amongst the olive groves of Andalucía in Spain. Lottie writes articles for magazines and websites, as well as making her own work since starting her blog in 2011. From Spring 2015 Pete and Lottie Nevin will be running residential art courses from their home in Spain. Pete Nevin trained at The Royal College Of Art and majored in Fine Art Print Making. At 19, Lottie threw away the gift of a chance to study at Chelsea School Of Art but later on in life did a Fine Art degree at Leeds Metropolitan. Lottie’s humourous take on life and her adventures in Indonesia and Spain can be found on her blog The Rioja Diaries’ and can be contacted by email at bettydharma@gmail.com .
