The person behind the paint.
I've always been creative, though art fell away when life took over after school. Returning to it as an adult has been a slow, sometimes bumpy process, but it also felt like a homecoming. It started with creating a little more space for me and my thoughts. I have spent a long time experimenting and playing to bridge the fact I have no formal art training. I started by simply exploring colour and movement on canvas and it has since grown into a space for me to play and express myself in a much more nuanced way across my collections. What began as pieces to adorn our own home slowly became work for other people's homes, and then there was a shift as something opened up. I haven't been able to stop since.
I now paint feelings before I paint places. Most pieces begin with a moment I didn't want to lose but sometimes it might not be a place at all — it can also end up more of a feeling that maybe didn't have a name when I started but deserved one.

I work primarily in acrylics, building up layers of texture and colour until the light starts to settle and it shifts into something you can feel. I'm always chasing the moment where it stops being 'just' paint on canvas and starts being a feeling.
My work is made slowly, with intention. It's not trend-led and it's not decorative in the safe, neutral sense. It's for walls that mean something. For rooms where people actually live.
A few things worth knowing about me, if you're the kind of person who likes to know who made the thing hanging in your home.
I am powered almost entirely by sunshine and snacks (in that order, most days.)
I am genuinely terrible at small talk, which I've made peace with, because I'm quite good at the conversations that actually matter.
I'm a massive reader (find me with an Audible, a physical book and one on my Kindle always on the go).
I was on ITV once for my marshmallows, which remains one of the more surreal sentences I've ever typed.
I came back to painting after years of running a bakery, raising a family, and quietly making everything around me more visually pleasing without really calling it art.
Design-led thinking has always been my default. Painting is just where it lives most honestly.
If something in the collection stops you mid-scroll, it's probably worth paying attention to. That feeling doesn't usually arrive by accident.
Original pieces, limited prints, and commissions are all available for purchase and I'm always happy to talk through a piece before you commit to anything.
There's no pressure here, just paint and the occasional good conversation.
The perfect piece has a way of finding you when the moment's right.
Stay curious.
Be the first to know when new work arrives, before it finds its home.
You're on the list. Good things coming your way.
