On this page I focus on the more polished, more finished pieces of work, work that has a story and meaning, along with some watercolour commissions. I also have ongoing character projects, so for more info on Ludwig & co. click here

The lines between what I class as my “fine art practice” and my “crafts” are very blurred, I have always been a creative because its what I enjoy, its what I’m passionate about, and even when i’ve fallen out with art, its still the main thing on my mind at any given moment.

Art has always been a therapy for me, the main reasoning behind most of what I do is “because I felt like it.” I used to put pressure on myself to get out of that head space, to sit down, think up a concept and make a piece of art with meaning. To make something worthy of being seen by a wider audience. my focus has shifted in recent years from “can this be put in a gallery?” to “can this bring someone joy?” my paintings have taken the backseat as i began selling my Curiosities.

I still have plenty of creative outlets just for myself, but again, these shifted from painting on canvas and paper, to painting on skin, my skin, my face and I began to express myself through makeup.
