Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary
From Fine Art to the Landscape, to Garden and flowers, and back to Fine Art.
The landscape has always inspired my floral storytelling both with flowers and on canvas. My desire is to create a mood that takes the reader beyond the page, beyond the image to another world, one where nature fully expresses herself and, in turn, provides us with solace, reassurance and inspiration.
‘All gardens exist on two levels. The real garden on the one hand, and the imagined or remembered on the other’.

The Imagined Garden
Amelie Wallpaper, Pink Shell
Amelie Wallpaper Collection
Designs inspired by those hidden stories in our landscape and gardens where nature in all her extraordinary guises transports us to a moment where we have time to stop and stare and truly observe what is there, what has always been there.

Martha takes her inspiration from the changing light in Autumn. Those mornings when there is a slight chill in the air and the leaves on the trees start to turn colours of copper pennies and ruby reds. Vines lose some of their vigour and their tendrils take on a delicate, web like quality, stems reaching for the sky.
Panoramic Murals
Isabella is painted on my studio wall. She is a woodland walk with vast tall trees framing a calm and still pool. Wild flowers tumble freely and climb up into the trees. The distant horizon invites your eye to pause a while and transports you into another world full of possibilities.
