I am an artist/illustrator that lives in Dorset with my husband, our two young children, dog, cat, chickens and horses. I love being outdoors and my art is inspired by nature, animals, the changing seasons and the beautiful, surrounding countryside and coastline.

​

My preferred medium to use is watercolour and I tend to work in a loose style which I hope helps to give a fun and light-hearted feel to my art.

​

After completing a BA Hons in Illustration and working for a greetings card publisher for 3 years I set up as a professional artist/illustrator. Over the last 15 years I have been fortunate to work on lots of exciting projects such as creating artwork for greeting cards, children's books, giftware and working on many private commissions.

 

In 2020 I also qualified as a yoga teacher, which I think has brought a mindful element to some of my latest art.

 

I sell my original art, prints, cards and gifts here in my online shop, on Etsy, at various exhibitions and fairs throughout the year and in a number of independent galleries and shops. I also supply over 70 National Trust Shops throughout the UK with my range of greeting cards. I welcome commissions too and love bringing your ideas to life!

 

My current collections include Mindful Mandala, Dorset Days, In the Country, Beside the Sea as well as a Christmas range. I have lots of new ideas in the pipeline and I can't wait to share them with you soon...

Feel free to follow my journey on facebook or instagram and see new paintings as they are being created! (links below).

I hope you enjoy having a look around here and I look forward to our paths crossing sometime.

 

All the Best
