I am a painter, illustrator, and dream worker. My creativity is deeply connected to dreams, weaving their threads into paintings, drawings, animations, and music.

I regularly create illustration commissions and have a selection of prints, cards, and original artworks available in my store. I run dream and creative art sessions, offering a space to explore both the imagination and the artistic process.

If you're interested in a commission, collaboration, session, or wholesale inquiries, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

Part of a work in progress. It may not look like this later so it’s nice to record it.

Hello, I have been experimenting again, this time with inks and water. #solubles oils. #painting #paints #oilpaintings #inks #artplay #artist #southnorfolkartist #norfolkartists #folk

Likely unfinished but here’s a wonky owl-esque friend who is currently peeking out at me from amongst the mess that was once my desk/drawing table.

More people sketching. Day 9 ( I think).

Sketching strangers. Day 8. Wanted to work more on this, but run out of time.

There is a very sweet group of sheep who graze very close to where I live. I think we have become better friends since I drew them. I might pop back another day and draw the others. #sheep #drawing #drawingsketch #grazinganimals #sketchoftheday #sketch #drawing #farmlife #countryside #sheepfarm #drawingoftheday #sheepoftheday

Day three, four and five , it’s de chickens. #drawingsketch #drawing #drawings #drawingskills #drawingoftheday #sketching #sketchinganimals #chicken #chickendrawings

Bobbles and binoculars. Can’t believe I�’m challenging myself to sketch when it’s so flippin’ cold. Why did I not plan this in the summer when I could languish under sun freckled leaves, sketching to my hearts delight. #sketching #drawingsketch #drawingaday #drawingadaychallenge #drawn #handdrawn #pencildrawing #artist #pencildrawing

Day two of my drawing challenge. No creatures in this one, just too cold for staying outside for long for me plus a cosy sit on the sofa was just too tempting. #drawing #drawingsketch #drawingoftheday #drawingchallenge #drawingart #pencildrawing #artist #linedrawing #drawinginside #drawingwhatyousee

I’ve decided to challenge myself. I draw most days but observational drawing is not something I do often enough. In my attempts to fill my sketchbook and get in a habit of drawing something I see each day, I will be posting them here for the next 30 days.

Here is a very small video capturing me adding some last details to one of my paintings from The Dreaming Oracle Deck, taken a few years back now.

It’s………….Oracle Card of the Day cyber styleee… personally I prefer a good old hold in your mitts card version but as I haven’t attempted one of these yet for The Dreaming Oracle Deck, here it is.

(Apologies if it makes anyone dizzy. Defintely don’t watch this while driving, lifting heavy machinery or if you’re already feeling a bit nauseous).

Some basic instructions if you need it.

Pause for a moment, do what you need to do to centre yourself, perhaps take some deep breaths, stretch your legs round the back of your head or twirl manically for 3 minutes while chanting libations to your favourite deity, then once your ready take a screenshot to pick your card for the day.
 Some ideas of how to get more understanding from your card.

1. Look at the Image: What stands out to you? Are there colors, shapes, or symbols that spark something? Even a small detail might hold a personal meaning.
2. Reflect on the Word: What does it make you think of? How does it connect to how you’re feeling, what you’re working through, or what you want today?
3. Take Action: Use the word and the image as a guide. Maybe it helps you approach a situation differently, focus your energy, or see something in a new light.

🌟 A Special Workshop in London This Saturday 🌟

We’re excited to host a unique event at @theatlantisbookstore this Saturday!

After publishing The Dreaming Oracle, we’d love to share some of the techniques we discovered and explore how dreams can inspire creativity and offer deeper understanding.

During this gentle and creative workshop, we’ll be exploring:
✨ Dreamwork & Meditation
🎨 Watercolour Painting
✍️ Creative Writing

It’s a chance to connect with your dreams and creativity in a supportive space.

📍 @theatlantisbookstore
📅 This Saturday

For bookings or more info, please find the link in bio. We’d love to see you there!

Learn to use simple art practices and dreamwork to help you access the transformative power of your dreams. No art-making experience necessary.

This class gives you a sneak peek into the in-person UK workshops that @Melissa grace and I are offering in the UK, beginning on November 30th.

Have fun at this FREE interactive adventure into the world of dreams. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

I’ve slowly begun the process of mounting the artwork from The Dreaming Oracle. During the four years it took to create the deck, a few pieces were sold to help fund the journey, but many are still here, waiting to be seen. It’s been moving to go through them again, to bring them out and give them the attention they deserve. Each painting feels transformative, holding the wisdom I uncovered through the act of painting them—each one a reflection of the dreams that guided me and the insights they revealed along the way.

Under a cloak of blackthorn,
ancient oak roots spread.
Branching tongues
murmur secrets
to the velvet rabbit with tall ears,
hidden in hedgerow.

After a turbulent and very busy few months I have finally managed to pick up my paintbrush again. Hopefully the first of many new pieces! 🌟💫 The colours are calling me back!

I had fun trying out new animation techniques over the weekend and this mini animation is the result of me meshing some of these techniques together. Creating a few seconds of an animation can take hours to create so I am very much in awe of all the wonderful animations and animators out there.

I had a fun day working with Hennock Primary School yesterday helping them create imaginative worlds from paint. We also looked at colour mixing, mark making and drawing skills . So lovely seeing so many beautiful paintings and drawings come to life. The project was managed by @daisiarts

For anyone in London who is interested in the Dreaming Oracle Deck you can now go and have a look at it at the wonderful Watkins Books ⭐️🌟⭐️

Completely fell in love with the work of self taught artist Mathew Wong which is currently showing in Amsterdam at the Van Gogh museum. The show was particular moving as like Van Gogh he commuted suicide at an early age. His paintings mirror internal landscapes and looking at each piece painting you can feel drawn inside …like a story long forgotten.

I haven’t really quite managed to post much yet from my amazing time away at the @iasddream conference in Rolduc. To be surrounded by so many others who are inspired and listen to their dreams in a myriad of ways was such a wonderful and inspiring experience. It was exciting to contribute to the event with a presentation workshop alongside @thenightisjungdreamguide about our Dreaming Oracle Deck. I was also excited to be part of an artist panel talking about how my art relates to dreams. Thanks to everyone who joined our workshop and bought our deck and also big thanks so all the organisers, fellow presenters and volunteers, I feel so very fed! 💙

Hello, thanks to everyone who has come from near and far, visited, chatted and bought work as part of Ashburton Trail. It has been really lovely being at venue 7 with @curioso_designs and @sylvie_nicholls.. they have both worked so hard putting this Arts Trail together. It’s the last day today so do pop in and say hello.
