Musical Robin

A new painting! This is a commission I was asked to do recently. It pictures a robin sitting on the top of a Ukulele overlooking the sea. A random but wonderful request! It’s the first time I’ve painted a bird and it’s made me want to paint more of them. Birds are magnificent creatures of this planet and I’ve noticed myself becoming more and more fascinated by them. Watch this space as I have been asked to paint something very similar to this by the same customer, and I’ll be starting it soon!

I hope you all like it. Acrylic on canvas ~ 29.7cm x 42cm.

On display in Common Loaf Bakery, Tofino.

Paintings

I’m very happy to announce that 2 of my paintings are up on display in Common Loaf Bakery a friendly bakery and Cafe in Tofino, B.C. Canada. I lived in Tofino earlier this year, it’s such a beautiful place and I gained a lot of inspiration from it, particularly because I spent a lot of time by the ocean, including surfing and exploring the coastline. My fondest memory before I left Vancouver Island was the hike I partook in along the west coast (The West Coast Trail) which also provided me with endless influences.

I have included some images below showing the paintings on display. I have a new ‘paintings’ tab at the top of my website where you can view all the paintings I have sold or created for commission. I am open to commissions at the moment so please get in touch if you have something in mind. I am experienced in creating nature inspired paintings, particularly the ocean and landscapes.

I hope you are having a great week so far!

My friend and her dog

Paintings

Here is a painting I did recently of my friend Sara and her dog, Teddy. He sadly passed away earlier this year and he was her best friend. The painting shows them both at Kamloops lake in B.C. Canada. I lived near the lake for a while when I was travelling and we would go for walks there together. I met Sara at a ski resort and we became very close friends during my travels in Canada. I hope you like it! It’s an acrylic painting 21 x 29.7 cm. Check out my other paintings on my ‘paintings’ tab at the top of my website. I am currently taking commissions, so please get in touch if you would like me to paint you something. I hope you are having a great week so far!

Hidden gems unveiled

graphic design

Some of my past work for the coastal outdoor brand ‘Brakeburn’ have appeared in their new collection for AW23. My personal favourite is the ‘Harry Rocks Tee’ picturing the famous rocks that line the Purbecks coastline in Dorset. I get a lot of inspiration from this area of the UK.

First try at painting a dog

Paintings

I tried painting a dog for the first time recently. It was for my friend’s birthday – he works on a small fishing camp in BC, Canada. His dog is called Willy, a huge and very playful pup. I am actually currently working at the fishing camp too (woofing). It’s a lot of fun and very peaceful. I go running down the service forest road in the mornings and swim across one of the lakes in the afternoons. Since I have a lot of spare time on my hands I thought I would get back into my painting. I hope you like it! (Acrylic on canvas.)

See below some pictures of the painting.

The moon and the stars

print design

I recently designed a print for a baby swaddle, which will soon be available to purchase. The swaddle has been designed by a lady in the USA who wanted to improve the environmental impact and practicality of this product. I also helped to start up this business by offering guidance with tech packing, measurements, and fabric properties. I am excited about the possibility of future collaboration. Good luck to Uni Organics.

See pictures below of the product!

A wall for the kids room

Paintings

I recently completed another wall mural for a client in BC Canada. The client was a small family in Sun Peaks Ski Resort, and the kids wanted their stuffed toys to be included in the design. The first character was a hedgehog called ‘Hedgy’ and a rabbit called ‘Crusty Bun’. I’ve put some pictures of Crusty Bun below:

I designed a few different options for this piece. You can see them below:

The client picked their favourite design and that was it… I was ready to start this fun piece of art! The design was a bit of a challenge for me as the previous wall mural I had created was a completely different process. However I enjoyed the puzzle of how I was going to create these clean/sharp edges. A little tip to anyone creating something like this: masking tape was a big help!

Another wall mural complete! You can see some photos of the process I went through to create this wall mural below:
