A couple of pictures of the bar front piece that I painted for Lucy Vail Creative Studio earlier this year for a spectacular event at The Newt in Somerset. The designs and concept were by - such a pleasure to help bring their fabulous vision to life 🫶🏻

A pet pawtrait 🐾 of sweet girl Tosca that I was commissioned to do before Christmas. Had to bribe her with a lot of cheese to sit for a suitable reference photo - but we got there in the end!

I love when people ask if I can create something in a particular style for them, it challenges me creatively and gives an opportunity to use different materials and study different subjects than I would do ordinarily, and it’s such a pleasure when clients love the finished result!

First mural of 2026 completed! The brief from was to create a cosy woodland corner to provide the backdrop to a play area (where ladders and swings are usually attached to the wall and ceiling!) 🌲🌿🦉

A fab start to the year with the loveliest clients

Had a fab time in Paris last week helping paint two scenic murals. Meg masterfully darted between the two rooms with assisting in the other room, while I was working in this one for the week. ☁️🌿🌊🌴 A big thanks to Meg for such a fun week on a project!

Little snippets of the Ludwig Bemelmans inspired playroom mural I’ve been working on. It’s not quite finished - but nearly there!

It is inspired by the mural in in New York - which apparently took Bemelmans 18 months to complete(?!).

In my version, each scene is uniquely personal to the client, hand painted to depict family heritage, homes, pets, businesses and favourite places. Really looking forward to sharing some more when it’s all done!
