When I was younger I would paint with my Grandma and Mum, we all started a weekly watercolour class together which is where my love for seascape painting began. I went on to study Fine Art at Birmingham University and moved to Cornwall in 2017.

I always knew the ocean had a calming effect but it wasn’t until Covid-19 that I realised how much of a therapy the ocean was to me. During the long days of isolation I was privileged to have the coastal path right on my doorstep (in Flushing). I would walk along the seashore every day, listening to the waves lapping on the shoreline, breathing in the salty air. I wanted to bottle that feeling and take it home, the only way I could imagine doing this was to paint it!

At the time, I was involved in a start-up company positioned in the travel industry which was shelved due to the pandemic, so painting became my escapism. I never imagined in a million years that I would turn this into a business. I have the ocean to thank for everything, my business, my inspiration, my therapy. That’s why with every piece I sell I donate to Surfers Against Sewage, a marine conservation charity, it’s my way of giving back to the ocean and saying thank you.

I absolutely love being able to paint something personal/unique and reconnect people to past memories through commissions - for those that are interested in a commission please pop me a message.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely day.
