Always a joy creating palm trees 🌴
I never get tired of painting them, but it’s even more special when I get to create them for wonderful people who truly connect with the piece 💚✨

Three sisters, one moment, and now a forever memory ✨
I loved creating this pencil portrait as a special 50th birthday gift for a wonderful friend. There’s something so meaningful about capturing connection, laughter, and sisterhood in graphite — every detail drawn with love. 🤍

Birthdays are my favourite — not even mine, but celebrating other people. I love giving, sharing love, and creating something personal for someone special. Making cards or paintings is such a joy, and seeing the look on their face when they open it means a lot to me.
If you’d like a handmade card or painting for someone special, send me a message 💌🎨

Half in shadow, half in bloom 🌼

This one’s about contrast — strength and softness, stillness and growth, all existing at once.

Letting the flowers speak where words don’t.

A very special commission to celebrate a Ruby 40th wedding anniversary ❤️

Alison and Neil, captured from their wedding day in 1986 — a moment of joy, love, and the beginning of a lifetime together. It was such an honour to recreate this memory and bring it back to life in paint.

Forty years of love… what a beautiful milestone ❤️ congratulations 💕

I’m always happy to chat about creating something meaningful and personal — just drop me a message if you’re thinking of a piece like this ✨

In November I became an auntie for the 5th time 🤍 to such a beautiful, strong baby girl.
I made this little keepsake as a special gift to celebrate her arrival — a piece to treasure forever. (Her name, weight and birth date are all included, just hidden for privacy.)
If you’d like something similar for a new arrival or a baby already here, feel free to get in touch ✨

Welcome to the world, little ones 🦁✨

I recently finished two special “Welcome to the World” paintings featuring baby lion cubs to celebrate the arrival of a beautiful baby girl and a cheeky baby boy. One cub wears a delicate crown of flowers, and the other is a playful little character with a bright red bowtie.

I love creating these symbolic little characters to mark such a joyful moment — a keepsake to celebrate a brand new life.

(I have obviously distorted the names for privacy.)

Painted this portrait of John Wayne for my dad’s birthday 🤠

He’s always loved the old Westerns, and John Wayne was a big favourite in our house growing up. So I thought I’d try to capture a bit of that rugged, classic cowboy spirit in watercolour for him.

There’s something really special about making art as a gift — it carries a little piece of your time and heart with it. 🤍

There’s something really powerful about a quiet, thoughtful moment… especially when it’s tied to the game you love. ⚽️

One of my latest commissions was this piece, created for a friend’s boyfriend’s parents.

I haven’t picked up the pencils for a while, but this felt like the right time to go back to drawing. I decided to work in tones rather than colour to really capture the mood — the shadows, the concentration, the stillness before the storm. Sometimes black and white just says it better.

It reminded me how much I love working with light and contrast… might not leave it so long next time. 🤍
