WELCOME

Hi, I’m a passionate artist and photographer based in Cheshire, specialising in original oil paintings, bespoke pet portraits, and handmade gifts. Every piece I create is crafted with care, emotion, and a love for detail—whether it's a vibrant landscape, a soulful animal portrait, or a unique handmade craft.

I offer a wide range of creative services including custom art commissions, handcrafted home décor, greeting cards, photography prints and much more. My work is inspired by the beauty of nature, the charm of everyday life, and the joy of creating meaningful, personal art that brings warmth to any space.

Whether you’re looking to commission a one-of-a-kind pet portrait, browse my latest artwork, or find the perfect handmade gift, you’ll find it all here. I also regularly showcase my work at local exhibitions, craft fairs, and farmers markets, where I love connecting with fellow art lovers and makers.

Explore my shop for ready-to-buy pieces, get in touch for commission enquiries, or join me in one of my online art courses and discover the joy of painting for yourself.

Thank you for visiting—I hope you find something here that speaks to your heart.
