Commissions are now closed indefinitely as I focus on my solo show opening in late August
Aldeburgh, Suffolk - the joyful seaside town where my love for the hollyhock was ignited. A self seeding beauty that grows proud towards the sun, wherever the wind takes it. Resilient. Abundant. Untamed. 🥲
Thrilled to have three new paintings with @olsen_gallery for their summer group show, from December 16. Get in touch for acquisition enquiries: [email protected]

In between studios: very grateful to have been awarded a 6-month residency* at Fremantle Arts Centre in 2026. I’m beyond excited to spend this time in the studio pushing my practice into new territory, having been afforded the time and space to create with freedom 🙏 thank you @fremantleartscentre@bevan.honey
