There is something very warm and joyful about yellow, and this painting brings both those qualities, along with some welcoming brightness into any room.
I often think about how things, objects, ornaments etc, carry vibrations with them. I chose this little collection to vibrate a sense of comfort and joy, because each of the objects contain it. The candlesticks were made last year by me in my first hilarious slip casting project. I loved making them. The cake with the teapot, I also made last year and is part of my ceramic cake gift box body of work. Tea and cake is always comforting. Then there is my Rumi collection of poems, into which I dive regularly for comfort and wisdom. The tinging things, whose real name I forget, emanate sound and vibration which will supposedly cleanse your space of negative energies. Red dog oil sketch - I just liked the colour combo, and the blue dog... well, need I say more?
The sides are painted in yellow, but could easily be a darker tone, or if you were to frame it, that would do nicely. Otherwise it is ready to hang with D-Rings and wire on the back.

These still life paintings are a little bit surreal - expressive, whimsical, real and unreal. I use the teapots I've made as still life props. I like to give them a second life.
Teapots and tea always evoke comfort for me. I am Scottish, after all! I have a massive collection of them. When I make them, I like to take symbols from other paintings - dogs of course, but also birds and fish, to use as knobs. The images on the side are windows into little scenes from my day to day life. Swimming, walking, watching nature, the world.
Of course it would be great in a cafe or dining room, and brings a sense of vibrancy and calmness to any space.

Making the real surreal is my speciality. Here are five of my own wheel thrown bowls sitting on the rocks above the sea. I photographed them like this and then painted a surreal version. Bowls are such symbolic objects and can be used for so many purposes. Their shape always suggests a rising energy to me, and in this case, I see wishes rising for peace, love and harmony, and other good things.
The surface of marine ply is sealed with black gesso and binder medium to prevent warping, and a frame will assist with this. The painting is varnished with a satin matte and should not be put under glass.

In this acrylic painting, I’ve explored the bright, inviting essence of an orange, pairing its vivid color with a contrasting purple background. By isolating and highlighting the fruit’s rich hues and intricate textures, I wanted to draw attention to the often-overlooked beauty of everyday life. The composition of whole and sliced segments captures both the form and the freshness of the orange, encouraging viewers to pause and appreciate its natural vibrancy. Through this study of color and contrast, I aim to evoke a sense of joy and warmth in the simple yet striking subject.

As the rest of the world braces for winter and its bounties, we in the southern hemisphere are bidding farewell to fresh oranges, mandarins and other cold weather offerings. These last of the season oranges were painted from live composition.

I just love working with orange! Orange is for the brave. Here I wanted to also paint white. What colour is white? It is a reflection of the colours around it. This was a happy break from my botanical studies and I feel I have control over the arrangements of still life.
Ready to hang.

Tinted Temptations feels less like a still life and more like a conversation with memory. Four glasses—each tinted in turquoise, purple, green and light blue—line up like old friends, familiar yet freshly radiant. Their glossy reflections catch the light in ways that remind us of shared moments: the clink of glass at a gathering, the cool sip on a summer afternoon, the nostalgia of a brand woven into everyday life. This piece is perfect for anyone who treasures the blend of pop culture and personal memory, and who delights in art that feels both familiar and fresh.

Four Glass Vases was painted when I was studying the colours created through an antique glass jar. I was also influenced by simple flower arrangements at a local show.
