The dynamic interplay between the delicate floral forms and the spontaneous, flowing marks evokes nature’s joyful unpredictability. This painting celebrates growth, freedom, and the beautiful chaos of life in full colour.—imperfect, layered, alive.

Against a dark, mysterious backdrop, the lion’s focused gaze and poised movement embody both grace and raw instinct. This painting invites viewers to witness the quiet intensity of the wild after dusk, where every moment is charged with silent anticipation.

Fairly Hairy Scary Bear 24 x 36 acrylic

Fairly Hairy Scary Bear commands attention with its luminous green eyes piercing through a vibrant, colourful mass of fur. This striking bear emerges from the canvas as a bold emblem of strength and mystique, blending raw nature with an electric energy. The vivid palette transforms the familiar into the extraordinary, inviting viewers to see the wild through a new, glowing lens.

Winter Witness 30 x 40 acrylic

Winter Witness captures a lone red cardinal perched on a bare branch, set against a dark, moody sky. The vivid crimson of the bird stands in quiet defiance of the season’s starkness—a symbol of resilience, memory, and the fragile beauty that endures through stillness and shadow. This contemplative scene invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and find colour in the cold.

Echo of Light 40 x 30 acrylic

Echo of Light captures the quiet strength and grace of a horse outlined in soft hues of blue, brown, and turquoise against a black background. I chose a gentle palette to temper the bold contrast, creating a dreamlike presence that feels both grounded and ethereal. My intention is to invite the viewer to feel, rather than see - the stillness, the breath, and the spirit of the horse as it moves through shadow and light.

Loyal Light 40 x 30 Acrylic

Rendered in vivid neon pink, blue, and turquoise against a deep black background, Loyal Light offers a contemporary, ethereal portrayal of a canine form. The luminous outline captures a delicate balance between motion and stillness, evoking the enduring presence of loyalty through refined and expressive line-work. Minimalist yet impactful, the work eloquently communicates the quiet strength of companionship, illuminating even the darkest spaces.

Paws & Harmony celebrates the comfort of companionship, capturing my two dogs nestled together in quiet contentment. The vibrant palette reflects the joy and warmth of their bond, while their closeness evokes themes of loyalty, trust, and the simple happiness that comes from being with those we love.

Hopeful Crumbs 16 x 20, Acrylic

Hopeful Crumbs captures the familiar longing in a dog’s eyes—the quiet patience, the unwavering focus, the eternal optimism that just maybe, a treat will fall. I used joyful, expressive colours to transform a simple moment into a tender reflection on loyalty, humour, and the small hopes that brighten our days.

Close Enough 16 x 20, Acrylic

In Close Enough, thisbrightly coloured pup takes self-care into his own paws—albeit with a hilarious twist. Brushing with the wrong end of the toothbrush, he reminds us that good intentions matter more than perfection. Full of humour and heart, this playful painting invites a smile and a gentle nudge not to take life too seriously.

Majesty in Motion 30 x 40, Acrylic

With ears like sails catching the sky and tusks curved in quiet defiance, this elephant emerges from a storm of colour and memory. Strength, wisdom, and vulnerability pulse through each brushstroke, as if the spirit of the wild carries its echo forward—bold, timeless, and unafraid.

Roar of Radiance 30 x 40, Acrylic

Symbolic of courage, strength, and raw beauty, the lion becomes more than an animal; he becomes a force of nature. Rather than naturalistic tones, I used bold swaths of vibrant reds, electric blues, fiery oranges, and radiant purples to capture the lion’s fierce spirit and inner fire.

Beautiful Imperfections 16 x 20”, Acrylic

A playful exploration of form and colour, Beautiful Imperfections celebrates the charm of the irregular. The bottles, each uniquely shaped and hued, seem to dance together in quiet conversation, offering a gentle reminder that beauty often lies not in symmetry, but in individuality. Their distortions reflect the human experience: imperfect, expressive, and full of life.

Turquoise & Gold 16 x 20, Acrylic

In Turquoise & Gold, the cool serenity of the bowl contrasts with the sunlit warmth of ripe mandarins, creating a visual harmony that feels both fresh and nostalgic. The simplicity of the subject invites viewers to slow down and savour the everyday beauty found in ordinary moments—a bowl, some fruit, and the play of colour and light.
