I always said I wanted to be an artist.

As a child, I painted animals constantly. It was the one thing that lit me up.

 

But like many people, I was nudged toward a more “sensible” path.

Even at art school, I was told painting wasn’t serious enough, so I focused on photography, started a business, and built a life I thought I was meant to have.

 

Until it all fell apart.

My marriage ended. I was a single mum of two. Starting again.

 

Then, my brother asked me to paint a peacock for his wedding.

That one painting brought everything back - the joy, the calm, the colour.

And I couldn’t stop.

 

 

I began painting again, and people began smiling.

 

At first it was markets. Then online. Then everywhere.

 

People told me my animals made them smile.

That they brought peace on hard days.

And joy on good ones.

 

And that’s when I realised, this wasn’t just for me anymore.

 

 

Now I paint full time, creating animal art to lift you up.

 

Whether you’re going through something tough,

or you simply want a home that feels brighter and more you,

my artwork is here to help.

 

No pressure. No preachy quotes.

Just joyful animals to sit beside you.

 

So if today feels hard, or you just want something that makes you smile when you walk past it, you’re in the right place.

​

And I’m so glad you’re here.
