It’s been quite a strange few months, caring for my husband as he navigates Glioblastoma.

This afternoon I found a few quiet minutes to revisit my available paintings and drift into inspiration, looking through and and imagining my work living within those dreamy, atmospheric spaces.

A gentle reminder too that my raffle to raise funds for Brain Cancer Research remains open until May 31st. Please see the link in my bio for a chance to win an original painting, not this one, but a smaller piece that will be drawn on June 1st and shipped to the winner anywhere in the world.

Inspired by the frozen waterfalls in Iceland and I really need to go back to see these again soon.

This season I created the artwork for Ffern’s Winter scent.
I spent time visiting lighthouses along the Welsh coast, foraging on beaches and gathering small, found natural forms to respond to the brief.

The Ffern team offered such generous inspiration throughout, and I have been deeply touched by the many kind messages from Ffern lovers about the artwork.

It was also such a huge thrill to see working on the creative story to go with the scent. One of my favourite actors.

I created ten images for the postcard tucked inside each box, one of which was selected.

These are a few of the others.
Thanks to all at .co for allowing me to be part of this wonderful story.

Today a work I made years ago resurfaced unexpectedly on Pinterest.

I’d forgotten its exact shape.
The scale.
The way the white sat on the paper. These press-made works on Chinese rice paper were never meant to be permanent. Quick, light, almost provisional. All of the images were lost over time, to a corrupt hard drive and a vanished archive, and they lived on only as a feeling.

Seeing this again reminded me how memory works. Not as a clean record, but in fragments. A sensation. A rhythm. A pressure remembered by the body rather than the mind.

Some images return not because we went looking for them, but because they were never finished with us.
🤍

feeling inspired.

My work is currently available at the very wonderful .galerie in Evian-les-Bains, France.
The gallery sits quietly on the shores of Lake Geneva, light-filled and, with a beautifully stripped-back aesthetic that allows each work to breathe. I love the clarity of the space, and the thoughtful roster of artists it brings together.

If you are nearby, or wandering online, their digital gallery is equally generous and carefully curated.
Thank you to the team at the gallery for the lovely images.

When the snow comes in Wales, which is not often, I can’t help but take the work outside.

Being out there changes how I work. The cold sets the pace. The body has to listen.
These initial layers were made standing in snow, working through the weather rather than against it. early days, but great to make a start.

Grateful to have always nearby, documenting it all with her analogue cameras.
It means a great deal to have so much creativity moving through one family.

My daughter came to visit with her vintage camera to finish a reel of film. I love how the images catch the mess and energy in my studio.
I love black and white, black and white photographs, monochromatic images with black ink, paper and pressure.

Elemental.

Thanks to for always wanting to finish rolls of film in my studio. .

January is all about being reflective. And I find myself looking back to a particularly poignant commission from 2025.

I want to celebrate Studio Response and the collaboration that led to the commission for the cancer wing at the Nevill Hall Radiology satellite department in Abergavenny. Having spent time in radiology departments with my husband, this work felt especially considered, and required a careful, attentive approach.

The process with Studio Response was calm and thoughtful throughout. Working with Emma allowed space for listening and clarity at each stage, which matters deeply in public and healthcare settings.

I’m grateful for the openness of the collaboration, and for a shared understanding of how art can exist quietly within spaces shaped by vulnerability and care.

Hope to work with them again soon.
