I’ve always been drawn to stories — especially the ones that weren’t told properly.

The women who were feared, softened, rewritten, or silenced.

The figures labelled dangerous not because they were wrong, but because they were powerful, intuitive, or unwilling to make themselves smaller.

My work grew from that place.

Painting became a way of sitting with these stories — and with my own. After navigating chronic illness and witnessing the quiet resilience of women close to me, art stopped being about achievement and became about recognition. A place where complexity, anger, tenderness, and endurance could exist without apology.

I blend feminine myth with floral symbolism not to decorate these figures, but to hold them — to honour strength that is layered, lived-in, and often misunderstood.

Although my background includes theatre design, film and television, teaching and exhibition work, what matters most to me is this:

Creating art that feels like a mirror.

Not something to aspire to — but something to return to.

This work isn’t here to fix, motivate, or transform you.

It’s here to keep you company.

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.
