Discover Unique Mixed Media Art
Based in the heart of the Forest of Dean, I create expressive, one-of-a-kind artworks inspired by the idea that beauty can emerge from life’s broken pieces. Using mixed media techniques and often incorporating reclaimed or found objects, every piece tells its own story.
Whether you’re looking for a meaningful commission, a creative experience, or something truly different, you’ll find it here.
I create unique artwork and experiences from my studio near the Forest of Dean, including pet portraits, relaxed art workshops, and Pawcasso sessions where your dog can paint a one-of-a-kind piece for you to treasure.

Art with Meaning
Inspired by Beauty from Brokenness, transforming memories into something special
After many years working as an Occupational Therapist, I now spend my time doing what I’ve always loved, creating art that tells a story.
My work focuses on mixed media, often incorporating broken or found objects to create something new and meaningful. This idea sits at the heart of everything I make: Beauty from Brokenness.
I’m also a co-owner of Butterfly Creations, where you can see a collection of my work on display.
Whether I’m creating a bespoke commission, guiding a workshop, or helping your dog paint their own masterpiece, I love bringing creativity into people’s lives in a relaxed and personal way.
A fun and memorable experience where your dog creates their own artwork for you to treasure. Choose your colours and enjoy a completely one-of-a-kind result.
Beautiful pastel portraits capturing your pet’s personality, created by hand and made to last. Ideal as a meaningful gift or keepsake.
Relaxed, small-group workshops where you can explore mixed media techniques in a friendly environment. Perfect if you’re new to art.
Turn unworn or inherited jewellery into a bespoke piece of wall art, preserving memories in a beautiful and creative way.
Looking for something truly personal? I create custom artwork tailored to your ideas, often incorporating meaningful materials and textures.
