This has been such an incredible month! Thank you all so much for all of the love and support you have shown for the art I have released this month. I am so incredibly grateful. This has been a really strange year for me, but as we head into the final four months of the year, I am SO incredibly excited because this, for me, is where things are about to really change, and just ahhhh, it's going to be amazing! Earlier this year, I attempted to take my own life. I attempted t

From Nothing to Something to Summit is about what happens when those tiny sparks become a life again. The glorious, almost unbelievable exhilaration of standing somewhere we once could not imagine reaching and wanting to shout simply because we are here to experience it, From nothing, to something, to laughter, adventure, dreams, colour, possibility, ridiculous ideas and enormous plans and then to standing at the summit with our hearts completely, magnificently alive. From n

There is something extraordinary about the moment when the future stops feeling like something we have to survive and starts feeling like something we cannot wait to experience. For so long, the light at the end of the tunnel can seem impossibly distant, we imagine reaching it will mean relief, safety, perhaps the chance to finally catch our breath but what if there is something even more wonderful waiting on the other side of that light? The Light At The End is about the exh

There are futures we almost never get to meet, people we have not yet encountered, places we have never stood, opportunities we cannot imagine from where we are now, adventures that will one day become favourite stories, ordinary moments we will someday treasure, and versions of ourselves we have not yet had the chance to become. At The Edge of Extraordinary is about the overwhelming joy of realising that all of it is still ahead. There have been moments when my world became

You may have noticed throughout my collections and limited edition artworks this year that I have been focusing a lot on overcoming personal struggles. As mailing list subscribers will know, I have been moving house, and there have been a lot of personal things happening behind the scenes that have honestly crippled me mentally. There have been a few times this year when I almost didn't make it through the darkness, and for that I will always be incredibly grateful for Samari

There are moments when humility can wait, when we have climbed too far, fought too hard and refused to surrender too many times to finally reach the summit and pretend it is anything less than extraordinary. Victory Is Mine is a celebration of claiming those moments completely, standing somewhere we once wondered whether we would ever reach and allowing ourselves to feel the full, glorious weight of what we have achieved, no diminishing it, no brushing it aside,

There is a difference between knowing we are capable of something and finally believing it with every part of ourselves. I Am The Lightning is about the moment power stops being something we search for and becomes something we recognise within ourselves. Not borrowed, not bestowed, not waiting for somebody else's permission just ours. There is an extraordinary freedom in reaching a point where we no longer need the world to convince us of our own potential, we know what we

There is a particular kind of wonder in reaching somewhere you once looked towards from far below. For so long, the summit exists only as an idea, something distant and uncertain, glimpsed between difficult stretches of the climb. Then, somehow, the ground beneath your feet changes. You look back, and all those impossible distances have become the path behind you. From Here, Everything is about that moment.

There is a strange freedom in realising that we were never supposed to fit neatly inside every space we entered, sometimes we outgrow expectations, old versions of ourselves become too small, dreams become bigger than the lives we originally imagined for them, and the things we once believed were impossible begin to feel increasingly within reach. Uncontainable is about allowing that expansion.

Sometimes, when we are climbing, the mountain becomes our entire world, we see the next step, the next obstacle, the ground immediately beneath our feet. We become so focused on simply continuing that it can be impossible to imagine what might exist beyond the path in front of us, and then comes the view. We look back and see distances we once thought impossible stretching away beneath us as we realise that somewhere amongst all those stubborn little steps, we climbed an en

July has been something of a chaotic month for me, as I have moved into temporary accommodation whilst I wait for the sale of my house to complete, and so there has been a lot going on. It took a little while, but I have finally set up my temporary studio, so I will be able to continue working and hopefully find a little normality within the current abnormalities!

For a long time, I think I misunderstood what it meant to feel powerful, I imagined power as something we acquired once we had achieved enough, healed enough, proved enough or finally reached some distant version of ourselves who had everything figured out. This year has taught me that power was never waiting somewhere in the future. My Own Thunder is about the moment we recognise that the force capable of changing our lives has been within us all along.

There are moments when freedom means leaving something behind, not because it meant nothing, but because there comes a point when remaining tethered to what was begins to ask more of us than stepping into what might be. No Net Ensnares Me takes its title from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and from one of literature’s fiercest declarations of independence. I have always loved the idea that we can care deeply, carry memories with us, and still belong entirely to ourselves. That

Sometimes we encounter something that seems to set a small part of our imagination alight, a line in a book, a piece of music, a painting, a story discovered at exactly the right moment. We may have encountered countless others before it, yet something about this one catches, and suddenly the world feels a little larger than it did before. Taking its title from William Blake's The Tyger, Burning Bright explores the sparks of inspiration we gather throughout our lives and th

Sometimes we encounter a phrase that changes the way we see something forever, a few words in a book can become attached to a colour, a landscape, a season or even just a feeling so completely that we carry them with us long after we have forgotten everything else that surrounded them. Inspired by Thomas Hardy's A Pair of Blue Eyes, Autumn Distance is about those fragments of literature that escape their pages and become part of our own inner world. Words borrowed from anot

Long after circumstances change and paths diverge, names remain threaded through the stories we tell about who we were, where we went, and the people we became along the way. Like The Winter Wheat takes its title from a line in the film Troy that has stayed with me for years, and from its reflection on the fleeting nature of individual lives beside the extraordinary endurance of memory. We rise and fall, seasons change, generations will pass yet somehow, certain names remain

There are moments when the heart seems perfectly capable of holding two contradictory truths at once. We can grieve what we are leaving while longing for what comes next, we can miss a place before we have even left it, feel sadness amongst excitement, and discover that closing a chapter does not diminish our hope for the one waiting beyond it.

There is something extraordinary about the things that endure within us, hope can be such a quiet presence that we barely notice it when life is calm; yet when the world becomes uncertain, when familiar ground disappears and the way forward feels impossible to predict, somehow it becomes louder. And Sore Must Be the Storm takes its title from Emily Dickinson's “Hope” is the thing with feathers, a poem I have always loved for its understanding of hope as something both delic

Life has a habit of rearranging itself around us, homes change, landscapes change, people come and go, and the paths we thought we knew can suddenly lead somewhere entirely unexpected. Yet amongst all that movement, there are certain things we carry so deeply within us that they become part of who we are. An Ever-Fixed Mark takes it's name from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 and is about those constants, not just love as Shakespeare wrote about but all of it. The words, stories, so

Moving house has a peculiar way of making you consider what it means to carry a life from one place to another. As I packed mine into boxes ready to move this July, I found myself thinking about all the things we accumulate that could never be packed away. The words we have read, the songs we have loved, the films we return to, the places we have called home, the people we have known and the memories scattered amongst them. Small fragments collected across a lifetime that som
