There’s something deeply powerful about living with original art - not just as decoration, but as a long-term investment in beauty, meaning, and legacy. In this piece, I share why I’ve spent nearly 20 years refining my practice, the materials I choose with intention, and what makes owning original work so enduringly special. From pigment mixing rituals to the quiet strength of linen, this is a glimpse into the depth behind every painting I create.

Over the past nine months, three very different journeys - by the sea, through the rain, and across the desert, have shaped my newest body of work. Each painting carries the memory of places visited, colours breathed in, and moments lived deeply. I can't wait to share them with you.

Starting an artwork can feel overwhelming, even for seasoned artists. In this piece, I share how I move through fear and doubt in the studio each morning—and offer a simple, heartfelt way to help you begin too.

After years of applying, I’ve been accepted into an artist residency in the South of France! A rare chance for uninterrupted creativity, new inspiration, and connection with fellow artists. I can’t wait to share this journey with you.
