Vendor Biography

Welcome, and thank you for viewing my store! I am a watercolour artist and illustrator, originally from Australia but now residing in Cyprus.

I have a background in graphic design but, in recent years, have returned to where my artistic journey began: creating art by hand and I have never looked back!

There is nothing more satisfying and enjoyable to me than bringing my ideas to life with my favourite mediums: watercolour, graphite, ink, and sometimes 24ct gold gilding.

As a creative, I have a passion for all things beautiful and am a lover of flowers, rambling untamed gardens, nature, colour, and expressing emotion through these. The wealth of migrating birds and rugged Cyprus landscapes are a constant source of inspiration to me along with vintage children’s book illustrations!

My work is quite detailed and feminine and is an invitation into momentary thoughts, memories, or imaginings and often illustrates connections within the natural world between animals, plants, and the environment.

When beautifully framed, these pieces exude nostalgia and timelessness, adding a peaceful, natural, and observational focal point to an interior. I also have a range of greeting cards and often take commissions for original pet portrait paintings.
