Grief was the base layer. Joy came later.
Teaching the world to paint loose.
From my Belfast studio
I began painting at seven after my dad passed away. My work lives in the liminal space between grief and joy. Each painting’s title holds a story, with room for you to bring your own.

A Dreamy Day With You
Acrylic on deep-edge canvas
60 × 30 cm
Stemming from car drives and ice cream, blustery walks and sunsets by the pier. This textured painting holds life in all its fullness — worries set aside for a moment, and the strength to face the inevitable ups and downs that come with being human.
This painting is a love letter.

She’s Golden
Mixed media on canvas
120 × 80 cm
Created for my SHE collection, She’s Golden is a celebration of the quiet strength that so many women carry.
There comes a point, often in our forties, when life has shaped us through love, loss, motherhood, work, disappointment and joy. We begin to let go of the need to prove ourselves and step more fully into who we already are. This painting was made for that woman.
Built from layers of wall paint, acrylic, oil and expressive mark-making, the surface holds its own history. A fine dusting of gold powder catches the light, revealing itself differently as you move around the painting. Rather than symbolising perfection, the gold represents resilience — the beauty that appears after life has tested us.
Like much of my work, this painting balances energy with softness. It celebrates women who continue to choose hope, who lead with compassion and who understand that confidence isn’t always loud. Sometimes it is simply the quiet decision to keep becoming.

Book the Holiday
Acrylic on canvas
122 × 91 cm
The title is both instruction and permission. Book the holiday. Choose the memory. Stop waiting for the perfect moment to begin living the life already in front of you.
Loose layers of turquoise, pink, orange and olive move across the canvas with the energy of anticipation. The painting is playful and expansive, made to bring colour and a sense of possibility into a room.
