Artwork​

 

I create bright, modern paintings using expressive acrylic techniques and bold, intuitive colour. Deconstructing colour in my subjects and bringing them to life on the canvas in an explosion of hues. I show my application of paint clearly, from intricate brush strokes to lively applications of pure colour with palette knives. Constructing a rich dialogue with the viewer, sharing the experience of how the art was formed. My animal artworks are full of personality, inviting connection and warmth. 

​

My art sparkles with personality, from expressive acrylic paintings to loveable animal characters bringing joy with their big personalities and puns. My character illustrations, like the Fruinimals (fruit-animal hybrids), are designed in a whimsical, child-friendly style, combining humour, familiarity and charm. I describe this creative process as “Maths Art” - the visual equation of combining two playful ideas. This creative puzzle brings me joy and mindfulness. It’s my personal form of relaxation, helping me manage worry or sleeplessness, and I love sharing it with others as a tool for both creativity and emotional wellbeing.

Art Workshops

 

Inspired by my own healing journey with art, I now specialise in providing art workshops that support children’s mental health and wellbeing. Each workshop is rooted in joyful, imaginative expression. Art becomes a safe space for children to express emotions, try something new and build confidence. 

​

Working in schools, nurseries, clubs, summer camps, family attractions and galleries, my workshops are adaptable for different ages, abilities and group sizes. I’m experienced in the early years and provide tailored creative activities to support sensory learning and play-based development. I take pride in delivering fun, meaningful experiences that children remember long after the session ends. 

​

With over a decade of experience as a professional artist, I’ve delighted hundreds of children sharing my love of art across educational and community settings. I am fully qualified, insured and DBS checked, with specialist training in children’s mental health and arts-based emotional support.

Why I Do What I Do

 

During a difficult period of illness, art became my way to heal - I quite literally painted myself happy. My first painting in that chapter was the Perky Pixie, who later inspired my business name and logo. That joyful little character helped me find my strength and share it with the world.

 

As I began showing my work, I saw how children especially connected with my playful, colourful art. They wanted to make their own. In teaching them, I naturally shared how I used creativity to express emotions and build resilience – and they listened. They responded. That’s when I realised: this could help them too.

 

My workshops grew from there. When I became a mum, my commitment to supporting children’s emotional wellbeing deepened even further. I now design my art and workshops to help children thrive creatively, emotionally and socially.

Commissions and Pet Portraits

 

For something extra special, commission a unique artwork created just for you - from Pet Portraits with character to abstracts tailored to perfectly match your home.

 

Animals are a favourite subject of mine, depicting personality and character. In my Pet Portraits I capture how you the owner sees their loved one, creating a painting through your eyes. In every piece I create I show something more than a photograph ever could. Using vivid colour and enhancing texture I convey feeling and expression. Learn more about our Pet Portraits here

 

If you are interested in a one-of-a-kind piece made especially for you, please get in touch
