Stepping into a painting

Some of the questions I’m trying to adress in my work are about how immersive art can provide a starting point to talk about mental health and how this could give people an everyday , brief respite.

I am currently looking at ways to create an immersive installation aimed at uplifting spirits! I want to create an imaginary world with art that gives the viewer a tiny window,a porthole of something that’s endless but that suggests it is part of something much bigger. Leaving the audience to imagine the rest of it , suggesting it goes on forever…To take people away , briefly, from everyday life .Endless possibilities…

I'm an artist based in the North West, specialising in surreal, abstract storytelling through whimsical and floral-inspired paintings. Working primarily in oils and mixed media, I create imaginative worlds where nature, emotion, and symbolism intertwine. My work often features hidden elements—small details woven into each piece for viewers to discover—inviting a sense of curiosity and playful exploration. I hold a BA (Hons) and MA in Fine Art, a PGCE in Art Education, and I'm currently undertaking a PhD. Alongside my practice, I work as an art lecturer and art therapist, both of which deeply inform and inspire my creative process. Original artworks are available to purchase, and I also welcome commissions. “Through art, I explore the quiet magic hidden in the everyday—reminding us to pause, wonder, and celebrate this one wild and precious life.”
