Art & Commissions

I’m currently open for commission work and love collaborating on pieces that feel personal, playful, and deeply connected to place.

My commissions span a range of projects, including:

  • Watercolour & ink artworks, inspired by coastal and botanical forms, created for homes, studios, and special spaces

  • Shell artworks that preserve and honour locally collected shells, transforming treasured finds into meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces

  • Children’s book illustration and character artwork, bringing gentle stories and imaginative worlds to life

  • Artwork for children’s bedrooms and playrooms, designed to feel joyful, calming, and full of wonder

  • Community and collaborative art projects, where creativity becomes a shared experience

Whether you arrive with a clear vision or just a feeling you’d like to explore, I’m happy to guide the process and create something that reflects your story, your space, or your community.

If you’re not quite sure what your idea looks like yet — that’s perfectly okay. Many commissions begin with a conversation.

To enquire about availability, timelines, or custom ideas, please get in touch via the contact form.
