I did another commission recently of a robin. This one is slightly different as a hand replaces the ukulele! I did struggle with this painting as hands a very tricky to paint! I enjoyed it though and I loved working with some brighter colours in this one. Also the background is somewhere I have been walking often and watched some lovely sunsets. It was a pleasure to paint. I hope you like it!
29.7cm x 42cm Acrylic on canvas.
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.

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!

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!

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.
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.
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!
