Welcome

Art, stories and the shape of a creative life

Painter, printmaker, and writer exploring art, landscape, and the overlooked histories of women artists

Why Subscribe

I am a painter and printmaker, and this space is where I share the shape of a creative life - its rewards, its pauses, and its inevitable stumbles.

Alongside my own work, I write about neglected women artists and illustrators, particularly from the early to mid-twentieth century, whose stories and work deserve to be better known.

There will be sketchbooks opened, marks on paper, and the quiet process of printmaking. From time to time I share techniques and working notes - and if you have any questions or seek advice, I am always glad to hear from you.

But creativity isn’t only about the studio. Each post also gathers together what surrounds it: books discovered and reread, poems, podcasts, and the shifting seasons in the garden and beyond - all the threads that make a life.

New posts arrive every other Thursday morning, waiting in your inbox when you subscribe.

I hope you will join me, it would be lovely to have your company.

Why become a paid subscriber

All my posts are free to read, but paid subscriptions are open for those who would like to support the work.

If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve found here, I would be deeply grateful if you’d consider upgrading. Your support helps sustain my work as both an artist and a writer, and allows me to continue researching and writing about these artists.

From time to time I also share studio notes and behind-the-scenes glimpses with paid subscribers. These will be small reflections from the desk, sketchbook pages, or work in progress.

As a small thank you, paid subscribers also receive:

• 15% off everything in my shop, from limited edition linoprints, giclee prints and original works
• Access to the full archive of posts
• Occasional audio recordings to accompany the writing

Your support truly makes a difference, and I would love to have you as part of this circle of readers.
