Welcome! I am an artist and illustrator living in Devon, England, surrounded by the beautiful wild nature of Dartmoor. I try to be ethical and tread lightly on the earth - my cards are printed on recycled card by a local company, with biodegradable eco cellophane bags, my packaging is reclaimed, recycled and/or biodegradable wherever possible. I source second hand and vintage frames for my work and refurbish them, rather than using new materials. And I walk the mile to the village Post Office to post my orders, accompanied by my dog Woody...
Enjoy browsing my work, and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

5 out of 5 starsGreat fun! Recommend for any of you ladies who, like me, now have a head of grey hair, and need a bit of reminding as to our worth as the years speed by. Arrived very quickly and was carefully and neatly packed.

I live and work in beautiful Dartmoor in the South West of the UK
Inspiring and uplifting spiritual and goddess art, drawings, illustration, prints and cards celebrating the sacred feminine, the beauty in nature and the beauty in ourselves
I am an artist and illustrator living and working in Devon, UK, surrounded by the wild and beautiful nature of Dartmoor. When I am not working, I love singing, dancing 5Rhythms and getting out among the trees and rivers or onto the moor, to be in nature (often with my dog, Woody).
I have loved drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, and have a degree in Fine Art and an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking. After selling my work through shops and galleries, I started my Etsy shop in the Autumn of 2018, and am loving that my work is now available to people all over the world! It brings me great joy to make my artwork accessible to as many people as possible, in the form of greetings cards and prints as well as original paintings and drawings. That people use my art to mark special occasions such as weddings, handfasting ceremonies or blessingways, as gifts for loved ones or on their personal altars, always feels like a great honour. My hope is that my art is uplifting and healing, and can help us open our eyes to the beauty in the world and in ourselves. Ultimately, I hope that my artwork makes people happy!
I love colour and line, and my work tends to be vibrant and bright, with a distinctive style that uses bold, curved lines and flowing shapes. My favourite materials are oil pastels and coloured pencils for the way I can build up and layer the colours, and I also love traditional printmaking processes like etching, drypoint and lino cut. I work intuitively, often starting by making lines and shapes on the paper and seeing what wants to emerge. Sometimes my inspiration will come from nature, from my own journey and inner processes, or from my connection to spirit and Goddess.
It is important to me that I try to be as ethical as possible and tread lightly on the earth, so my cards are printed on recycled card by a local company, with biodegradable cornfibre cellophane bags, and my packaging is reclaimed, recycled and/or biodegradable wherever possible. And I walk the mile to the village Post Office to post my orders, accompanied by Woody...!
