As we step into our 7th year, it truly feels like the start of another new chapter. The past year has been a journey like no other — a time of growth, experimentation, and transformation. My renewed focus on art and space has been deeply defining, reshaping both my work and my business in ways I could only have dreamed of.

My wood relief series has captured so many hearts — now a growing collection of 12 unique designs, from minimalist monochromatics to my favourite hues of blues and pinks, and the bold neon works that captivate every viewer. Each piece is handmade with precision, and my passion for creating them never fades.

This year has seen my art travel far and wide — from commissions for hotels, holiday retreats, and homes, to full-scale wall murals, custom prints, and the development of oversized metal sculptures for walls, floors, and gardens. Making art this way is my life’s ambition, and I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to bring imagination to life, one piece at a time.

As some of you know, I’ve also been quietly nurturing my other creative passion — interior design. Working across South West England, I’ve had the privilege to design beautiful, intentional spaces that blend clean, modern lines with a thoughtful mix of new and reclaimed materials. From single-room transformations to full-scale renovations, each project reflects the same ethos that guides my art: where creativity meets purpose.

And so, as we look to the future, there are exciting changes ahead. My beloved Dartmouth store is evolving into a gallery and studio space — a home for my art in all shapes and sizes, a workspace for commissions and design projects, and a welcoming place to meet my favourite people — you.

You’ll also notice updates to my website as we head into the new year, featuring even more of the art you love — including new and exclusive works designed to fill your spaces with joy. Expect to see screen prints, murals, sculptures, and even furniture (yes, furniture is coming!) — each telling its own story where creative vision meets timeless craftsmanship. You’ll also find a new section showcasing my interior design projects, with behind-the-scenes glimpses into what’s next.

As we celebrate this 7th birthday milestone, I’m filled with gratitude for every one of you who’s been part of this incredible journey — from those first thrilling days at Dartmouth Regatta (in the big tent under the Red Arrows!) to transforming the old fishmongers into my own creative haven, and now, into something even more inspiring. 

With love, peace, and endless gratitude,
