Painter - Map-maker - Boater - Adventurer - Dreamer - Tea-Drinker
My little business started in 2014 once I returned home from a few years of travelling. With a fresh mind and no real direction I painted my first map of Wales and my first ever house portrait. I started out pretty small scale and worked mostly on commissioned pieces, but with more and more positive comments and more customers I branched out into local markets and Etsy.
Nowadays I live aboard Narrowboat Roanoke and have a little garden on the canal where I work from a recycled wood studio.
In the summer season you can find me trading on the towpath as 'The Illustrators Boat'. Also find me trading at markets and events around the North West and North Wales.
Sign-up to my website newsletter or find me on social media to keep updated. I LOVE to meet my customers so do come and introduce yourself if you see me out and about!
