So excited to share my final piece, "Bass to the Bone", for the Faber-Castell Colour4Life 2026 competition!

This artwork is a direct reflection of the things that fuel my creativity — my absolute love for music & the fresh energy of springtime. By bringing together a vibrant, dripping skull wearing headphones with soft cherry blossoms against a cloudy blue sky, I wanted to capture how our passions & the changing seasons give us a completely unique perspective on the world.

Created using Faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils on an 81cm diameter, 1.2cm thick plywood round.

The final countdown is officially on!

Pushing hard to finish this piece before the Saturday, 31 October competition deadline hits.

To my amazing commission clients:

I am happily working through my current lineup to give every piece the precision it deserves. I have two commissions right on the finish line, a third well underway & a fourth about to start, with more new pet portraits lined up to kick off over the coming weeks!

Thank you so much for your support & patience.

Getting so close! Still some blossoms left to finish & then I’m ready to tackle the background. Swipe to the end to see the video!.

My pet commissions keep me so wonderfully busy which is why this passion project has been waiting in my studio since the start of the year. But with the Faber-Castell deadline looming, I’m finally bringing this 'UNIQUE' concept to life!.

I’m using my favourite Polychromos pencils to create a giant skull covered in hyper-vibrant colours & drips, wearing headphones, surrounded by delicate cherry blossoms.

What do you think of this vibrant style & how it’s shaping up so far?
Let me know below!👇🏼

Ivy 🕊️

A custom fine art piece created with Faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils on a 25.5cm plywood round (1.2cm thick). A sleek satin varnish adds the perfect protective finish to every single detail.

Knowing that this special keepsake is safely home & loved by its family is the absolute best part of what I do. Thank you for trusting me with Ivy’s memory 🤍.

Bringing the beautiful Ivy to life on wood!

Hand-drawn with so much love using Polychromos pencils. There is nothing more magical than watching a beloved pet’s personality shine through the wood grain. I hope this forever tribute brings a lifetime of smiles to Ivy’s family 🌈 🐾

Stepping back to the drawing board with a full heart today 🤍

After a gentle break to process losing my own sweet dog, it feels grounding to be holding my pencils again.

I’ve been quietly chipping away at the first of 8 custom pet portraits on my desk - a surprise cat piece that is almost finished, which is hidden for now! 🤫

I also have a completed secret dog portrait from my last batch waiting for a final reveal once it's safely with it's family.

Thank you all for your immense patience & lovely messages while I’ve been away. It's so good to be back.

On Monday morning, my precious dog Bella passed away. My heart is completely broken & I am struggling to find the right words but I wanted to share her beautiful face with you all.

She was my constant companion, my absolute best friend & a massive part of my soul. Everything feels so empty without her & my family & I are navigating an incredibly heavy wave of grief right now.

Thank you for filling my life with so much unconditional love, my sweet girl. Rest peacefully, my darling Bella. The house is far too quiet without you here but my heart will hold you close & love you forever 🤍

I am sorry if I am a bit quiet on here for the next wee while but I do plan to share some work soon.

When the portrait looks so real you have to give it a sniff!.

Miss Zephyr was the lucky winner of my pet portrait giveaway & her mum sent through this beautiful photo of her posing with her custom plywood round. She shared the sweetest reaction:

"Holy heck you are so talented! I absolutely love it. I showed Zephyr straight away & she tried to lick & sniff it."

There is truly no higher praise than a dog’s approval.
Thank you so much for the wonderful update! 🫶🏼
