There’s a moment every December when the studio finally exhales.
The paint settles, the brushes rest a little longer in the water jar, and I can actually hear the ocean outside again. That’s where I am right now — in the quiet after a year that felt full in the best possible way.

2025 has been a year of big shifts.

In my studio, before any colour meets the canvas, I reach for fabric.

Old linens, worn denim, vintage cotton, rough hessian — each piece has its own temperament, its own way of behaving under paint. And that personality is exactly what brings my shorelines to life.

Next year, I’m taking a step that’s been quietly tugging at me for a while — I’m heading back to school. Not full-time, not disappearing, not hitting pause on commissions or creative experiences… but committing to one long weekend each month on the Porthmeor Programme at St Ives School of Painting.

Meaningful, ocean-inspired gifts for those you love

There’s something about the sea that brings us back to ourselves.
That gentle rhythm of waves, the smell of salt on the air, the peace that seems to settle over you the moment your feet touch the sand.

This autumn marks the beginning of a new chapter in my journey as an artist.

From 16th November, I’ll be moving into my new studio and gallery space at Agweres, Lanteague – a vibrant creative hub where my work can live and breathe in its truest form. This space will be both a working studio and an intimate gallery: a place where you can view originals in person, talk through commissions, or join me for one-to-one sessions and mentoring.

As the seasons shift and we move into autumn, I’ve been reflecting on the summer just gone. It was busy, beautiful, and deeply fulfilling — but also brought me one of the most important lessons I’ve learnt since becoming a full-time artist and entrepreneur.

This summer has been one of the most varied, vibrant, and inspiring seasons of my journey as an artist.

Why clothing? Why it matters?

Why Everything I Create Is About Connection

If I had to distill everything I do — the art I create, the experiences I host, and the mentoring I offer — into one word, it would be connection.

Connection to the ocean — the kind that calms your nervous system with just a glance. That brings peace, presence and a quiet remembering of who you are.

Connection to your creativity — the ability to express something beyond words, to lose yourself in colour and texture, to release emotion or welcome inspiration.

And connection to your purpose — in business or life. The kind of inner knowing that says, “This is what I’m here for.”

Tuning into Creativity: Why I’m Saying Yes to More Conversations

One of the most unexpected joys of running a creative business has been the invitations I’ve received to share my story — not just through my art, but through conversation.
