🎨 Always Learning, Always Creating
I used to mainly paint in acrylics, but these days oils have completely stolen my heart. I love their richness, flexibility, and the way they let me gently blend, layer, and build mood with freedom and flow. I still turn to watercolours now and then — especially when capturing charming coastal scenes and wildlife — where a looser touch helps me convey atmosphere and energy.
Art has always been how I make sense of the world — a way to express what I’m feeling, seeing, or daydreaming about. I’m constantly inspired by nature, the sea, and the Dorset landscapes all around me.
Lately, I’ve been leaning more into abstract work, following colour and intuition to create pieces that are more about feeling than form. When I paint abstract, I’m painting beauty — things that make my heart dance with joy. It’s a playful and freeing process, and I hope that sense of wonder comes through in the finished piece.
Alongside traditional painting, I’ve been building up my digital painting skills too — it’s opened up a whole new creative world and lets me explore ideas in a fresh way.
Honestly, I see art as one big, colourful journey. I’m always learning — whether that’s through courses, watching other artists, or just having a go at something new. Every piece teaches me something, even the ones that end up in the “learning pile.”
Colour is a constant source of inspiration: bold palettes, soft glows, surprising combinations — I love how a single hue can transform a space or shift a mood. My faith, the sea, and the beautiful Dorset landscape are woven into everything I create.

Slowly bringing Durdle Door to life in watercolour — there’s nothing quite like trying to capture that iconic arch and blue sea.

Caught mid-stroke in my happy place — where the paint is plenty, the tea is strong, and my brain is full of colour. This is where the magic (and the mess) happens.
