There are stories that never make it to canvas and tend to float in our memory between laundry and longing. These are the ones I paint.
Through painterly gestures, expressive portraits, and symbolic canvases, I help you turn your inner world into something you can see, hold, and heal beside. This is not about likeness. It’s about truth. It’s about the story.
Choose a tier that speaks to your season. Come as you are; curious, vulnerable and quietly brave. Your heartwork deserves a frame.
Base Tier – Small Abstract Painting
Whispers In Colour
Intuitive expression, quiet reflections.
An intuitive abstract, painted from the quiet corners of your story. This small canvas becomes a visual exhale. No photo needed, just your feelings and a little space to be seen. For those seeking softness, stillness, and a beginning.
Includes:
-
A personalized hand painted affirmation inspired by their story.
-
1:1 Story call or catch up over coffee for you to share where you are right now emotionally
-
A mini “colour guide” explaining the emotional symbolism behind 2–3 shades in the piece.
-
Option to add a name or date subtly woven in the painting.
This tier is like a whisper to the self. A gentle beginning for those who want to feel seen without needing to say too much.
Middle Tier – Mid- Sized, Figurative, Portrait Painting
Worn & Worthy
Identity, reclamation, personal narrative in form
A portrait that honours your becoming – real, raw, and richly yours.
Created from your chosen photo and layered with intention, this mid-sized piece weaves identity with emotion. It’s more than what you look like; it’s how it felt to get here. The photo can be of you or a loved one and their journey.
Includes:
-
1:1 Story call or catch up over coffee for you to share your story with me to deepen the emotional brief.
-
A short, written reflection from me sharing my interpretation of their photo + story (why I chose certain elements, symbols, colours)
-
A personalized hand painted affirmation inspired by their story.
- You are included into the whole journey; progress photos will be sent to you along the way.
This tier becomes a mirror—a way to see yourself not just as you appear, but as you are becoming.
Top Tier – Large Sizes, Deeply Personal Commission
Embers & Echoes
Legacy, transformation, rootedness, rebirth
A sacred heirloom born from memory, meaning, and brushstrokes. This large, fully personalized canvas gathers your stories, photos, and spirit into one powerful visual narrative. Textured, symbolic, and deeply yours; it’s the kind of art that remembers for you.
Includes:
-
1:1 Story call or catch up over coffee for you to share your story with me. This is your opportunity to also share elements, colours, photos that you feel needs to be shown in the final piece.
-
A story map; a printed or handwritten breakdown of how your shared memories translated into visual elements in the painting
-
A time-lapse of the piece coming together
-
A tiny bonus 10x10cm companion canvas, painted in the same palette, symbolizing a seed, memory, or emotion.
