Story

Hand painted prints, greetings cards & postcards, inspired by the elements and natural forms, planet friendly printing on recycled paper

I am an artist and shoot producer, from a small northern village and now based in Stoke Newington, London.

When I paint I take inspiration from elements and natural forms, I’m inspired by the colours of cold northern beaches in the winter and striking sunsets in summer. I seek simplicity of shapes in the architectural & natural environment, merging these both to create unique designs.

Colours feel like such an important key part of my work, and sitting down and taking the time to mix up the exact right colour palette feels almost as important as the painting itself.

All of my designs are hand drawn or painted using gouache paints

Building an environmentally friendly angle into my product has always been important to me and all of my designs are printed by a planet friendly small run printers based in Leeds. All products are printed on FSC accredited 100% recyclable paper that is uncoated and unbleached, and any plastic packaging used is 100% biodegradable.
