FEATURED JOYFUL PAINTINGS…

There’s a moment – just before I begin a new painting – when everything is possible. My hands hover over my paints, pastels, collage pieces, and pencils, knowing that I can use anything, everything, to bring my vision to life. This is why I love mixed media – it’s boundless. It lets me follow the spark of inspiration wherever it leads, layering textures and colours until the piece feels alive.

Nature is my greatest muse, not just because of its beauty but because of what it teaches me: to slow down, to notice, to breathe. In a world that constantly pushes us forward, urging us to do more, be more, I want my art to do the opposite. I want it to be an invitation – to pause, to look closer, to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, to hear the rustling leaves, to notice the way light dances on water. These are the little things that bring us back to ourselves, to joy, to presence.

I paint bold, vibrant colours because they wake something up inside me. A sense of excitement, passion, and energy that I hope you can feel too. My paintings aren’t about realism; they’re about possibility. They exist in that dreamy, whimsical space where anything can happen – a world of dappled sunlight, glowing reflections, and the quiet, unshakable connection we have with nature and animals.

For me, painting is a way to hold onto the magic that surrounds us. To focus on the beauty instead of the noise. To choose wonder over pain, presence over distraction. Every piece I create is a love letter to this world and an invitation for you to step into that feeling with me. Because the magic is there, waiting for us – all we have to do is look…
