Description:
My work is deeply personal, often drawing from my past experiences and ongoing struggles with mental health. Each piece is both an expression and an outlet—a way for me to process, communicate, and transform emotion into something tangible.

Description:
I’m a Portsmouth-born artist with a deep love for the sea, storytelling, and our rich maritime heritage. Living by the coast has always inspired me, and it’s where my creative journey began. I founded LOTSOLOVE as a way to share my passion through handmade art and accessories, all created with heart, colour, and meaning.

Description:
I use layers of my own gelli plate prints, collage, and stencilling to make my one off pieces of art. Art is my creative outlet and therapy. I love how the layering can result in the unexpected. I go on a unique creative journey with every one I make.

Description:
My work is defined by the layering of shades, tones, textures and transparencies to create complex surfaces and images that are both tactile and visually engaging. I’m fascinated by the way materials work together and I use a fusion of diverse processes and techniques to create sophisticated contemporary artworks in two and three dimensions.

Description:
As a painter my practice may appear at first glance to engage the ancient technologies of mark making and colour deployment. However, my work represents a unique fusion of old and new technologies. I make use of redundant communication technologies and languages, employing visual and other media.
