Hi, I'm Aeryn…

This website is my vanity page. For people looking me up to know who I am, and what I do. I'll keep things brief. I express myself through my work, so that's the best way to get to know who I am… /more

About Me

Hi, I'm Aeryn North. Thanks for visiting my page.

Selfie of Aeryn North with black rimmed glasses, a grey hoodie, dark brown hair, smiling slightly at the camera with a grassy field, trees and the sun shining behind.

This is a selfie of me in early 2024.

I love to create. And photography is my main thing. I've been making photos since I was a kid. I also love to paint; draw; make marks; push pixels; and creatively write. Just anything really. Experimentation is what lights me up creatively. So my focus, and style shifts sometimes. But I'm always there in that art. It's about me. I feel all art is like that.

I have an arty website (under construction). Check it out for links to my various online projects and profiles. And if you'd like to follow, or subscribe to my arty "Fresh Takes", I am sending out emails from my PencilBooth.


I'm a very spiritual kind of person. And I consider the "woo-woo" experiences and connection I have to be real, rather than a product of life-long mental wellness issues. I'm highly sensitive, with a strong spectrum experience. I've lived through some very difficult life challenges since an early age. And I'm learning to grow, heal, and accept who I am. It's a journey!

I blog about my daily life on my personal blog, mainly as short form snippets and snaps. I also record vlogs about my spiritual journey and post them to my Being Me blog, along with some writings and short posts.


So that's my online life. I'm not really on social media any more, and I like it like that. But you may find me being a little bit active on Bluesky and Micro.blog.

Offline and in Real Life I live in a village, in a town, in the city of Manchester, UK. I've lived up here most of my adult life, but originally I'm from the south of England. I'm a parent of two beautiful teens. I was born in the 70s and came of age in the 90s. What a decade! I love, love, love music, and losing myself in art made by others: like science-fiction; fantasy; video games; rock music. I find the world to be a lot. So I live my life quietly. Nature is my sanctuary. I love my techie things and tinkering on my computer. I'm trans and use She/Her pronouns.
