Artist's Statement
I am an abstract mixed-media artist creating colour-rich, expressive artwork for homes and souls that crave more joy, freedom and feeling. Colour is my language, and energy is at the heart of everything I create.
I’m endlessly drawn to bold brights, layered textures and instinctive marks that feel free, alive and a little untamed. My work is contemporary and eclectic, often with a subtle bohemian spirit — the kind of art that can bring warmth and personality to a calm, minimal space just as beautifully as it can complement a home filled with collected treasures and colour.
At its core, my work is about creating a feeling. I want each piece to feel like a deep breath out — a reminder of sunshine after grey days, of possibility, of movement, of coming back to yourself.
My own life has been shaped by change, challenge and brave choices — from university and round-the-world travel to entrepreneurship, the impact of Covid, and navigating difficult seasons with my mental health. Through it all, art has become a way of choosing freedom over stuckness, hope over heaviness, and joy over fear.
Influenced by artists such as Jessica Zoob, Alice Sheridan and Louise Fletcher, I’m drawn to bold colour, rich layering and intuitive mark-making. I’m not interested in perfection or realism. I’m interested in energy, emotion and movement — and in creating space for your own imagination, memories and meaning to meet the work.
I create for people who want their home to reflect not just how they want it to look, but how they want it to feel. My hope is that each piece brings more than beauty to a wall — that it shifts the atmosphere of a room, lifts the mood, sparks something within, and offers a small daily reminder of joy, courage and self-trust.
If my work helps you feel more like yourself, more connected to your space, and a little more uplifted in your everyday life, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.
My Why
I create art because colour is where I feel most alive.
For me, it has always been about energy — the vibrancy of bold brights, the depth of layered texture, and the way colour, shape and mark-making can seem to pulse together with a life of their own. Creating art is my way of capturing that feeling of freedom, movement and possibility — like arriving somewhere new, or stepping into the first warmth after a long grey season.
I’m endlessly fascinated by the way colour can transform how we feel. A flash of pink, a wash of yellow, a rich joyful palette — all of it has the power to lift the mood, shift the atmosphere of a room, and make a space feel more personal, expressive and alive. Colour can hold memory, emotion and energy all at once. It can remind us of sunshine on our skin, laughter with people we love, or moments when we felt completely free.
That’s why my work is never just about decoration. My deepest intention is to create art that brings something real into everyday life — pieces that energise a space, spark emotion, and offer little moments of happiness, nostalgia and connection. I want the people who live with my work to feel uplifted by it, comforted by it, and gently reminded of their own joy, courage and possibility.
Most days you can find me...in my little studio working on something with a mug of coffee to hand and a fab view in to my small garden.
I am mostly known for...wearing my headphones listening to all sorts of music when I'm out and about.
People often refer to me as...a chameleon for my many different hairstyles over the years.
I love serving the world by...creating vibrant uplifting abstract artworks that promote your 'feel good'. Positivity is everywhere!
The things I am most passionate about in life are...
- Coffee - things just feel better in the morning after my two mugs a day!
- Using my art to help other people find their 'feel good' and raise their energy.
- Working on my health and fitness
- Reading...you can almost class my home as a library, I have so many books!
- Chilled out get togethers with other humans
- My home which is my safe space, my bubble, the place I can relax and have no worries...with my cat.
I create art to bring more colour, energy and emotional uplift into everyday life.
We all move through difficult moments — seasons that feel heavy, uncertain or harder than we expected. In those times, I believe art can offer something quietly powerful: a shift in energy, a sense of comfort, a spark of hope, or simply a small moment of beauty that helps you breathe a little deeper.
That’s what I hope my work brings. Not just something lovely to look at, but something that makes you feel. Something that lifts the mood, stirs a memory, softens the edges of a hard day, or brings a little more balance, connection and joy into your space.
If my art makes you pause, smile, feel seen, remember something beautiful, or reconnect with a part of yourself, then I know it’s done what it was meant to do.
And if it offers even a small sense of comfort or light along the way, then I’m deeply grateful to have played a part in your journey.
When I'm not busy working on my art you can catch me...
- Reading a book sitting somewhere quiet with a coffee and wearing some cozy slippers.
- De-weeding the garden and visualising how awesome it's going to look next season.
- Potentially thinking about my next tattoo.
- Off on a walk somewhere - I love the countryside and the sea, as long as there is some fresh air.
- Dreaming about my next travelling adventure!
- Playing with my cat.
