The story behind the piece…

Aerial Harmony was inspired by one of my earliest memories of Cornwall.

Manifesting is one of the largest original pieces I’ve created and explores the quiet relationship between trust, possibility and letting go.

Inspired by the ocean’s constant movement, the painting is built from flowing layers of blues, greens and soft neutrals that feel both calming and full of energy. It reflects the belief that, much like the tide, life has a way of carrying us exactly where we’re meant to be.

Hidden within the painting is a line from one of the poems in my debut collection, Hot Water Bottle, woven into the layers as a quiet reminder that our thoughts, hopes and dreams often begin long before we see them become reality.

Like all of my original artwork, Manifesting began as words in a journal before becoming paint on a canvas.

It is currently hanging in my Cornwall studio and is waiting to find the right home. 🤍

Complete the enquiry form below, sharing what drew you to the artwork and what you feel it’s worth. I personally read every enquiry, not simply based on the offer, but on the connection you have with the piece.

I hope every painting finds the home it was always meant for.

Finding the right home

Rather than displaying a fixed price, I’d love each of my original paintings to find the person they truly resonate with.

To help you understand the work, I’ve shared the materials used, the time invested and the story behind the piece. Whilst many artists use the dimensions of a painting as one factor when calculating value, I believe the connection someone feels to a piece is just as important.

If Aerial Harmony feels like it belongs in your home, I’d love to hear what drew you to it, along with what you feel it’s worth.

If this piece has found you at the right time, I’d love to hear its story from your perspective too.
