THE TRAVELLING ARTIST

Wanderer. Painter. Gym-goer. Mama, and surf/sunset lover.

Bringing colour to businesses, beaches and everything in between.

So, what’s my story? 

From golf clubs to global murals

Two photos of a blonde woman with wavy hair; one shows her smiling and thinking with a pencil in her hand, the other shows her painting on a canvas in a studio.

If you'd told me a few years ago I'd be painting murals for a living and travelling the country to do it, I’d have laughed (a lot).

I’ve always loved painting and creating, but I also had a knack for selling – which seemed a more likely career choice, so after finishing uni, I spent eight years working as a Sales Manager at a golf club. It was steady and structured…until lockdown happened and the world hit pause.

What started as quiet afternoons painting in the garden soon turned into something bigger. Friends and family started buying my work. I launched a website, sold a few prints, then landed my first mural. And just like that, everything changed.

Taking off – one wall at a time

I’ve since painted murals for salons, gyms, bars, restaurants, offices - even campervans and catwalks. My work has featured at London Fashion Week (twice!), Cheshire Fashion Week, and in solo exhibitions that still don’t feel real. I’ve been interviewed on podcasts and radio, hosted a charity catwalk show, and was lucky enough to build my own dream studio.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I bought a campervan so I could travel and paint - though I admit I get a little distracted by beautiful mountains, beaches and sunsets along the way!

And now…

Today, I work with bold brands, characterful businesses, interior designers and art collectors. Whether I’m painting a 10-foot wall or crafting a custom print, I bring the same energy and intention to every piece.

What’s next?

There’s plenty still to come. Big collaborations. New exhibitions. And definitely more travelling.

Watch this space.

Let’s get started

What I’m all about

(the heart behind the art)

I never set out to build a brand - I just followed what lit me up. Over time, a few things kept showing up in my work (and life). These values sit at the heart of everything I do and all that I create.

  • Colorful mural of a vibrant garden scene with trees, flowers, and butterflies, painted in pastel and bright colors.

    Authenticity

    What you see is what you get - in my art and in me. I create from the heart, not from a trend. I believe art should feel like something, not just look like something. Every brushstroke tells a story, inspired by lived experience, wild adventures, or people I’ve met along the way. No filters, no formulas, just honest, soulful work that reflects the moment it was made. 

  • A gym wall mural depicting a girl in fitness gear pushing a large tire, with dumbbells and workout equipment nearby.

    Courage

    It took guts to leave a ‘normal’ job and turn a passion into a career - but it’s a choice that changed my life.
    Whether I’m painting a 12ft wall, putting on an exhibition, or taking my campervan off-grid to chase a new mural project, I show up with courage every time. I also push my creative boundaries constantly and I encourage others to do the same, in life and in art.

    Freedom

    Freedom is the reason I create. The freedom to express yourself. To live life your own way. To travel, to explore, to seek out a little adventure.
    Art gave me the freedom to leave behind the routine and build something totally my own - and I hope my work gives people that same feeling: That anything’s possible. 

Want your walls to capture the freedom of expression?
