"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Have you seen a painting that speaks to you—or would you simply like to know more?
I would love to hear from you.
Please get in touch with questions about available originals, fine-art prints, delivery or finding the right artwork for your home.
The easel has been a constant companion throughout my life—from studying art at school and graphic design at college to painting professionally today.
Having divided my life between the United Kingdom and Africa, I draw inspiration from both worlds: the character and closeness of African wildlife, the exuberance of flowers and the wonderfully complicated relationships between people.
Every painting begins with a story. Through colour, expression and humour, I explore love, belonging, rivalry and the small moments that connect us.
Above all, I want my work to make you feel something—and, whenever possible, to make you smile.
