Where it began
For years, I felt the pull of art every time I passed an art supply shop. But I ignored it, convincing myself it wasn’t a “serious” path to follow.
As a child, with little else for entertainment, I spent hours with books and sketchpads - always drawing, painting and being curious. Later, I took the “responsible” route into a corporate career. On the surface it looked like success, but inside I felt disconnected.
One day, I finally picked up a paintbrush again. The moment I did, I knew: this was the part of me I’d been missing.
What inspires me
My inspiration comes from nature, human connection, and the simple but meaningful moments in life.
I also reflect on my own journey as a woman and a mother, and how those experiences shape the way I see the world.
My aim is to focus on the positive sides of life - the simple, yet most meaningful things. When you live with my art, I hope it becomes part of your story and reminds you of what matters most.
How I create
I build each canvas by hand, painting in layers over many days, and work with local craftspeople so that everything you bring into your home carries the care of human hands from start to finish.
I work mainly with acrylics, inks and oils, and love experimenting with different techniques - never boxing myself in too tightly.
In a world that moves too quickly and treats so much as disposable, I believe art should be the opposite: slow, intentional and lasting.
That’s why I’ve made a pledge to donate a portion of every sale to tropical reforestation through TreeSisters - a women-led movement restoring forests and communities worldwide. You can read more about The Forest Pledge here.
My paintings have travelled further than I ever imagined - exhibited in London, Paris and Manchester, and collected in homes across the world.
But what matters most isn’t where they hang. It’s the way they live with people day after day, becoming a reminder of what matters most in their own lives.
Outside of Art
I live on the outskirts of Greater Manchester with my husband, two children and our dog. When I’m not in the studio (or being a mum), I’m usually outdoors - exploring countryside trails, noticing colours and patterns that always seem to find their way back into my paintings.
