The Accidental Artist

Welcome to my Gallery ❤️

It was never my intention to become a paid artist. In fact, at school, I was told NOT to take art as an O-Level by my Art Teacher as my work was “…rubbish and would never amount to anything…”

Thanks to a chance conversation with my coaching friend Sarah Veall, and an awesome teacher, Jo Esson of Lucky Lobster Art – I shall be forever grateful to you both! 🥰 – it’s only been a few months and I have already sold several paintings and have been given my first commission 🙏

The big realisation for me is that painting is a great metaphor for dealing with life, the beliefs we hold about ourselves and discovering new strategies and techniques that help us develop as the awesome people we are.

This gallery is a snapshot of my newfound love of painting, reflections and realisations along my journey to becoming… The Accidental Artist.

(Note: All paintings are available for purchase except where indicated as “SOLD”)

“Believe in yourself and your abilities, because you ARE truly powerful when you put your mind to something. Be creative. Be expressive. Be adventurous. Be your own kind of awesome!”
