I'm a Liverpool based artist originally from Jersey Channel Islands. With a love of flowers, colours and storytelling through art. My work is inspired by nature, music, emotions and memories that shape who we are.
I have always been drawn to making things by hand. My creative journey began with preserving real orchids in resin to create wearable art and jewellery. Overtime, that curiosity led me to oil painting, where I found a medium that allowed me to express my memories and explore the freedom of painting.
Working with oils, I explore the space between realism and abstraction. Each piece is created with the hope of bringing beauty, atmosphere and connection into the space in lives.
My current collection, Mundane, celebrates the beauty hidden in everyday life. I paint intimate interiors and familiar objects that quietly hold memories. Through muted colour palettes and soft light, I'm interested in how ordinary moments hold weight, emotions and memories, and invite us to slow down.
Thank you for visiting my collection and supporting independent artists.
