about this collection
I always wanted to be a florist, because flowers capture the beauty and complexity of nature in a way that resonates so deeply with me.
Each bloom tells a story, showcasing vibrant colours and intricate patterns that inspire my artistic journey. Painting photo-realistically allows you to experience the elegance of flowers up close and personal and sometimes larger than life.

The essence of spring
In my latest collection, 'Coexist', I captured the essence of spring with three large watercolour paintings dedicated to its vibrant flowers—my absolute favourite season. Spring symbolises hope and possibility, a magical time when we, like the blossoming flowers, shake off our slumber and embrace the warmth ahead. I chose two of my favourites: the Magnolia, with its delicate pinks and velvety petals, and Wisteria, resembling cascading raindrops of lavender beauty. To complete the trio, I selected the stunning orchid, flaunting its deep magenta hue and intricate patterns. Each piece reflects the joyful spirit of renewal that spring brings.
Yellow hues, corn fields
One of my first commissions was for a large-scale crop farmer in Lincolnshire, who wanted to celebrate the beauty of their hard work in a visual way. We selected six crops from their fields—some destined for our plates, others serving as cover crops—and created a stunning collection of A2 paintings. Each piece magnifies the intricate details we often overlook, inviting viewers to appreciate the harmony and richness of the agricultural landscape.
