Own your story.
Original art for the chapters you're proud of, and the ones that made you stronger
abstract art and prints created to celebrate new beginnings, personal journeys & all the messy chapters in-between
My work explores the messiness of life, the light and dark, the movement and stillness, and the stories that shape us. Each piece is created through layers, allowing colour, texture and instinct to tell those stories.
My work is for people who want more than decoration on their walls. Something that holds meaning & makes their space feel like home.

Some days you just need to get outside
This piece came after a walk I really really needed, away from the noise, the to-do list, the relentless pace of a super busy week. I found my own quiet corner in the woods nearby and just breathed. This painting came straight out of that feeling and the gorgeous light in the woods that day.
Soft blush pinks, muted greens and warm neutrals layered over deeper, grounding tones. There's a little hush to it. Like stepping into somewhere that's just yours, where nothing needs doing and nobody needs anything from you.
It's for anyone who knows the feeling of desperately needing five minutes of quiet in the middle of everything.
Before The Rules
120cm x 150cm | Mixed Media on canvas | Framed in an oak frame
Do you remember a time when we weren’t paralysed by perfection? We weren’t afraid to get things wrong? We felt joy in playful creativity without the weight of right or wrong.
Before The Rules was painted at a time when I need a little bit of creative freedom. When I needed to just play and let go of the outcome I was holding onto.
What would happen if I used this tool? What would happy if I mixed these colours together? I wonder how this would look with a palette knife. So I tried it all. And it felt magical.
A real statement piece and a reminder of how things outside of what we expect the outcome to be can bring so much joy, discovery and learning.
Colour Me Happy
50 x 50 cm | Acrylic on deep canvas | Framed in oak
A burst of unapologetic joy, Colour Me Happy is a love letter to the emotional lift that colour can bring.
Painting at a time when I was exploring what is was like to let go. Colour became my go to. A bold and joyful letter to myself and a reminder that you do not have to shrink to be loved. Showing up in all your colourful glory is the best way to tell your story.
Framed in warm oak and painted on deep canvas, this 50 x 50 cm work is the perfect pop of personality for any modern interior. Place it where you most want to smile, your hallway, studio, reading corner or kitchen nook.
Meet the Artist
I’m a contemporary abstract artist based in Tadcaster, Yorkshire. I create expressive art for the messy, beautiful, complicated business of being human.
My paintings often begin without a fixed plan. Creating through layers of colour and texture, responding to what feels right as the piece develops. The process is intuitive and sometimes messy, a bit like life!
The work I create isn’t about perfection or trends. It’s about connection. Pieces that people are drawn to for reasons they can’t always explain, that bring meaning to the spaces they live in.
Alongside my studio practice, I open my gallery doors a few days each week and also run workshops focused on creativity through play and exploration, helping people reconnect with making art without worrying about rules or getting it “right.”
