Artist's Statement

I am a UK based mixed-media abstract artist driven by a love of vibrant colour, emotional freedom, and the kind of energy that lifts you up from the inside out. My work is bold, layered, and expressive — inspired by sunshine, travel, nature, and those small everyday moments that remind us how
good it feels to be alive. My art invites you to pause, breathe and feel. I create for people who crave colour, connection, and beauty — collectors who want their space to reflect the joy, movement, and soul of a life fully lived.

Art has been my way of stepping out of my comfort zone and into who I really am. After years of people-pleasing and struggling with my mental health, I realised how much I’d been holding back. Creating art gave me the freedom to let go, express myself fully, and reconnect with what feels good…really good. Every mark I make is a reminder to follow joy, embrace imperfection, and live with intention. When I create, I feel alive — and my hope is that my art helps others feel the same.

My story

For too many years, I was in a bad place with my mental health, which was fed by different events and experiences I didn't deal with very well. Talking to anyone about anything was very difficult and I isolated myself because of it. I developed quite a negative mindset with many areas of my life impacted by it.

Trauma can affect people in many ways and can be a long process in coming to terms with knowing how to work through it. One thing that worked for me was returning to my art practise. At first, I just loved getting lost in the process and the distraction it gave me, but it was a temporary fix for the negative emotions that would ultimately return.

I continued with my art as a form of therapy and pushed through the down days as they came and went. Eventually I started to feel much better, creating art for the love of art, not just for my well-being. I now make art because I truly love it, I make art because it makes me feel good. I make art because it makes me feel more positive in my everyday...and I want to pass that on to you. Why? Because you have the power to feel good too, always!

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...

  1. Coffee - things just feel better in the morning after my two mugs a day!
  2. Using my art to help other people find their 'feel good' and raise their positivity and energy.
  3. Working on my health and fitness
  4. Reading...you can almost class my home as a library, I have so many books!
  5. Chilled out get togethers with other humans
  6. My home which is my safe space, my bubble, the place I can relax and have no worries...with my cats.

I love serving the world by creating vibrant energising artworks filled with positivity and good energy.

Somewhere down the line, we all have those negative feelings we can’t ignore but want to avoid. I see my art as a tonic to those downdays, a reminder that positivity is all around us and that healing is not considered gold dust, but in reach to us all.

Small things and little wins can matter more than you think, so if my art makes you smile, stops you in your tracks, releases a memory, fills a void, makes you feel good or solves a problem...then I have happily contributed in a part of your journey.

I just hope I can bring some level of connection, balance or comfort to you XxX

When I'm not busy working on my art you can catch me...

  • Working in a community cafe, cooking up a storm.
  • 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.

If you're dying to hear more little nuggets, here are 5 things you might not know about me.

  1. I am mostly an introvert with a speck of extrovert.
  2. I eat a plant based diet (vegetarian, sometimes vegan).
  3. I used to train for roller derby, and snowboard, but injured myself & had surgery 3 times.
  4. I love to knit scarves and cowls with chunky needles and chunky yarn.
  5. I was in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 - a very emotional experience all round.
