I really want you to love visiting my website! Finding the right Balance between online and offline life is challenging.  I want my website to feel welcoming and personal, but professional...all the things I hope are part of the real life Art Boat.

Medley Series

I’m so excited to share my Medley series, a project I worked on over the summer that now has a home on my new website!
This collection marks a fresh direction for me, combining collage and acrylic paint on board. Exploring new techniques and materials has been a fun and rewarding process, bringing a new energy to my work.

The painting below is part of the series, inspired by the elegance and calm of swans on the water. Their grace, paired with soft colours and gold accents, reflects the peaceful beauty of nature I hoped to capture.
Creating this series has been such a joy, and I hope it brings you the same sense of calm and reflection it’s brought me! You can see the whole series here

Places

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been busy behind the scenes working on my website, giving it a full redesign and adding some exciting new sections. One of these is Places—an idea I’ve been wanting to explore for a long time.

This new section features a map where I’m starting to gather all the paintings of “places” I’ve created over the years. It’s very much a work in progress, and since it will probably never feel truly “finished,” I thought I’d share it with you now.

I'd love to hear what you think about my map!

Plans for Next Year?

I have no idea yet what my plans are for next year. There will be some boat trading and there maybe an exhibition or other land based event. I am just trying to see what feels right moving forward…keep watching this space!

Winter Cards

Oh, and before I go…It’s that time of year, and I’m so happy to share my winter card collection with you again! These cards feature peaceful snowy canal scenes, capturing the quiet beauty of the season.
Whether you’re sending Christmas greetings, celebrating winter birthdays, or just wanting to share a little warmth with someone special, these cards are a lovely way to connect. Take me to the cards…

That's all I can think of for now,

Don't forget that you can reply to any of  this in the comments, by email or through the website contact page...

take care...
