Artist's Statement
I’m an abstract mixed-media artist creating untethered, expressive abstracts for wild imaginations and radiant souls. Colour is my language and energy is my compass. I’m endlessly drawn to bold brights, layered textures and marks that feel free, alive and a little bit wild. My work is contemporary and eclectic, often with a bohemian edge — the kind of artwork that feels just as at home in a calm, minimal space as it does in a joyful, collected one. I want my artwork to feel like a deep breath out: a reminder of sunshine after long grey days, of adventure, of possibility.
My life has been shaped by big shifts and brave choices — university, round-the-world travel, entrepreneurship, Covid, and navigating difficult mental health seasons. Through all of that, creating art has become my way of choosing freedom over feeling stuck, and joy over negativity. Influenced by artists like Jessica Zoob, Alice Sheridan and Louise Fletcher, I lean into bold colour, rich layers and intuitive mark-making to build pieces that feel energising, uplifting and emotionally resonant. I’m not interested in perfection or realism; I’m interested in flow, movement and the space for your imagination to roam.
I create for people who value beauty, but also something deeper — those who want their homes to reflect who they are and how they want to feel. My intention is that each piece doesn’t just sit quietly on the wall, but actively shifts the energy of a room: sparking happy memories, lifting the mood, and offering little daily reminders of joy, courage and self-trust. If living with my artwork helps you feel more like yourself, more free, and a little bit happier in your everyday life, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.
My Why
I create art because colour is how I feel most alive. For me, it’s all about energy — the buzz of bold brights, the pulse of layered textures, the way marks, shapes and colours seem to crackle and hum together on the surface. Creating art is my way of capturing that feeling of freedom and adventure: like stepping off a plane somewhere new, or standing in the first warm light after a long, grey season. I’m obsessed with how colour can completely change how you feel — how a burst of pink or yellow can lift your mood, how rich, joyful colour can make a room feel warmer, happier, more “you.” I love that colour can turn an ordinary moment into something that feels special and uplifting, or spark a happy memory of sun on your skin, laughter with people you love, or a place where you felt truly free.
My deepest intention is that my art doesn’t just decorate a wall, but actively energises the people who live with it: that it makes them feel good when they look at it, that it brings little hits of happiness and nostalgia into their everyday life, and that it gently reminds them of their own joy, power 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 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...
- 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.
