Core Belief

As an artist, I believe in the transformative power of storytelling through art. By channeling the timeless narratives of feminine myths and the symbolic beauty of florals, I aim to create pieces that empower and inspire, reflecting the strength, resilience, and grace found in all women.

Background

My artistic journey began with a BA Hons in Theatre Design, followed by a career in education and production design for film and TV, including work at the BBC. After moving to the Lake District, I found solace in painting, drawing inspiration from myths, legends, and the strong women who defied conventions. These influences, combined with my personal experiences, have shaped my unique artistic style.

Early Inspirations

My passion for art was deeply rooted in my love for myths and legends, particularly those centered around powerful women. After my family was diagnosed with lupus and I faced my own struggles with fibromyalgia, painting became a means of connecting with and expressing the emotions tied to these stories. This connection led me to develop my signature style of blending feminine myths with floral symbolism.

Significant Milestones

During the Covid pandemic, I revisited painting and began my collection of Goddesses. This body of work gained recognition, with several pieces selected for exhibitions, including the Louvre Carrousel exhibit. I also received the Voices of Tomorrow Award from Contemporary Art Curator Magazine, marking a significant milestone in my career.

Current Endeavours

I am currently focused on expanding my collection of Goddess paintings and developing floral designs that will soon be available as prints on scarves and other items. My goal is to continue creating art that resonates with and empowers my audience, while exploring new ways to bring these timeless stories to life.

FAQ

Where do you ship to?

I offer free shipping on all prints within the UK, Europe, Norway, Iceland,
Switzerland, the US, and Canada. For other locations, a small fee may apply.
Commissioned pieces and originals are shipped via a specialist courier to handle
them with the care they deserve, with costs varying by destination.

How long does it take to complete a commission?

The timeline for each commissioned piece varies, typically taking 3-4 weeks to complete the painting. As I work primarily with oils, additional drying time before varnishing is necessary. We’ll discuss and agree on a timeline early in the process.

Can I pay in instalments?

Absolutely! For both originals and commissions, you can start with a 50% deposit to secure your spot, and the balance is due upon completion before delivery. For prints, instalment payments are available through PayPal at checkout, making it easier to own a piece you love.
