The last few months have been creatively full in ways I never expected.

Between motherhood, commission work, travelling, and starting a podcast with my sisters, a lot has been shifting quietly behind the scenes and under the surface.

Creating and producing has been so transformative, in a million ways I didn’t see coming. What began as a side project and an excuse to spend time with my newly discovered sisters, has unexpectedly opened up conversations around identity, creativity, emotion and self-expression. I can already feel those themes beginning to surface in my studio practice.

I think I’m entering a very different creative chapter.

More on that tomorrow 🤍

Life as an artist has a habit of taking you to extraordinary places.

This time, Paris - en route to a private designer showcase at Château des Joncherets, a beautifully renovated 16th-century property where a global collective of interior designers have reimagined the interiors.

I’m part of a small group invited to preview the spaces ahead of the public opening - and it’s exactly this kind of experience that fuels my work.

As an artist, I’m always looking for inspiration: place, history, craftsmanship, and the way art lives within considered interiors. Working with interior designers means the work often leads to remarkable spaces - and every journey informs the palette, scale, and narrative behind my bespoke pieces.

Oh she’s back ✨

Hello cosy studio and leftover Christmas chocolate I completely forgot I had stashed away. What a treat! My to-do list is as long as my arm but “one bite of the elephant at a time” is my studio mantra 🐘

I’ve got a real mix of tasks this January, mainly getting myself prepped for a super exciting trip to Paris to an Interior Design Showcase - I cannot wait to share all the details at the beginning of next week. Think wine, design and the most gorgeous company ✨

We’re in the early stages of a very exciting commission for some fave clients of mine. It got me thinking that I should film a little something which I’ll post on Friday about my commission process.

Speaking of Friday, I’m off to give a talk to a group of young artists about my career, all the highs and lows and all the in betweens. Hoping to inspire them and not terrify them, the world needs more artists please!

As an over sharer I can’t help myself but give you all of my life details and how I run my business, but I feel I pull myself back a little on here as it might seem wiiiild. If you’re a fan of over sharing, sign up to my “Inner Circle” and I’ll share exclusive studio and artist life updates if that’s your thing.

Link in the bio for the “Inner Circle”, it’s a bit of fun xx

Oh hello new drop of paintings! 🤍

Ready for the world to see, Part One from my Catalyst Collection is here: three dreamlike paintings inspired by those soft, nostalgic moments we all carry with us. For me, it's the feeling of wandering through my grandparents' garden, sunlight on old stone walls, and that unmistakable sense of being home. I just love the notion of capturing nostalgia - it's not something you can hold, but something you can dream about and get lost in. That loving, warm nostalgia that takes you back to your happiest of memories.

Memories of colour and texture take each of us somewhere completely different, and I hope as you sink in to these paintings you feel absorbed by their details whilst asking yourself, "where was I happiest?" These pieces are my little love letters to the past - hazy, heartfelt, and full of unconditional love that will forever stay with me. I'll go through the meanings of each painting in the next couple of days, but for now, please welcome:

"My Darling", "Oh How Lovely" and "It Was Home"

These paintings are now live on my website (link in bio) x

Ready for the first drop of the Catalyst Collection? ✨

Creating escapism through texture and colour, Part One showcases ethereal dreamlike oil paintings inspired by the sense of childhood. Neon pink and rich burgundy fade in to soft lilacs and gentle oranges - my aim as an artist is to awaken the senses and draw you in to nostalgia.

Personally, these colours sing of colourful crayons, light through petals in my Grandparents’ garden and the hazey feeling of losing myself in a daydream - quite simply, blissful happiness.

Dropping online Friday 21st November, newsletter subscribers will get a first glimpse the day before - be sure to sign up (link in bio) 💌

Now tell me, where do these colours take you?

A few snapshots of some of the pinkier paintings in my upcoming Catalyst Collection 📸 a range of artworks inspired by nostalgia and childhood, reminiscent of the natural world we played in. Dreamlike explosions of colour and texture ready for you to feast your eyes on ☁️💫

Next week these paintings will be live on my website, but not before everyone who has signed up to my newsletter gets a glimpse. Link in my bio to be the first to have a peak 💌

Ready to discover how easy it is to commission artwork or start your collection? Discover the best option for you👇🏼

〰️ Trade Accounts - If you’re an Interior Designer or work within the industry, you can sign up to a free Trade Account and receive 15% off purchases, a complimentary box of samples, and preview art drops 24hrs before public release. Register for your free account by clicking on the link in my bio.

〰️ Commissions - Creating artwork for an interiors project or special occasion is one of my favourite parts of what I do. It feels extra special because it’s a collaboration between you and me.

Before we begin, we discuss your brief and budget, from there we discover your colour and scale specifications. Throughout the creation process, we catch up frequently so you know exactly how your artwork is coming along (either via Zoom or in person if like me, you love a chat over a cup of tea).

All commissions are delivered with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, along with the small watercolour swatch used as a visual guide when creating your piece. Not only that, but I like to write a short document explaining your art and how it was created. This is a treasure to cherish forever after all.

I’ve created a “Commission Guide” just for you to help break down the process in more detail. Drop me a message if you would like to receive a digital copy.

〰️ Art Buying - Throughout the year I have ready-to-buy artwork in the studio which is a great option if you want something immediately. Just like a commission, these artworks arrive framed and with a signed Certificate of Authenticity so you know that you have an original, created by me in my studio.

Check out my website to see the full range (link in bio).

〰️ International Shipping - I’ve sent work across the world and I use a fantastic shipping company for the process. They’re highly skilled professionals who also deal with the paperwork and customs. I share their contact details on point of sale for easy streamlined communication.

Feel free to pop me a message or a DM if you have any questions ✨💌
