It's often thought of as the old person’s disease, except it doesn't just affect the old.

Young onset dementia is something I feel really strongly about, and one of the reasons The Artful Mind means so much to me 💜

So I did say to watch this space....

Pretty exciting news 💜

'The Quiet Between Tides' has been selected as a finalist in Envirohub’s Climate Canvas Art Challenge!

This one feels like such a natural fit for me. Water, the coast and that feeling of being grounded in nature come through so much of my work - because they genuinely matter to me.

This piece is a little reminder not to take the simple things for granted - the water around us, the air we breathe and the spaces in nature that let us stop and breathe it all in.

Pretty bloody stoked to be a finalist 💜

I really enjoyed creating this commissioned piece 'Sands of Time'.
A collector puts a lot of trust into an artist to create what it is they are wanting for their home and I feel honoured that a collector resonated with my vision and trusted me with theirs 💜

'Sand Beneath My Feet'

There’s a moment at the edge of the surf that I’ve always loved.

The water rolls in and surrounds your feet. Then, as it retreats, you feel the sand slowly being pulled away beneath you.

For just a moment, you’re standing still - but everything underneath you is moving.

'Sand Beneath My Feet' is my attempt to capture that feeling in paint. That quiet sensation of shifting ground, of movement beneath stillness, and of being held by something that is constantly changing.

Sometimes you don’t realise the ground is moving until you feel it disappear beneath your feet.
