Gifting is about finding that special item or experience that fits someone that you care about. It’s a considered purchase that shows that person that you get them and appreciate having them in your life.
Christmas can feel like an overwhelming time with the big businesses bombarding you with ads as soon as Halloween finishes but I urge you to give thought to the small businesses and creators in your local area. A pound spent with them is a vote for human creativity and craftsmanship and more of that money goes back into the local economy ensuring your community thrives.
With that in mind, I have some gift ideas for the adventurers, the nature lovers and those in your life who are stepping into their colourful era.
For the forest explorer…
'The Corridor of Colour'
A view from a local walk in autumn as the colours of the leaves are at their most vibrant an it feels like you’re cocooned in a fairytale forest. Some leaves crunch under foot, acorns and conkers scatter and bird sing in the trees while squirrels scurry about collecting their final reserves for winter hibernation. The sun breaks through the gaps in the trees creating that beautiful autumn warmth and the odd leaf floats down from a height reminding you that it’s okay to shed what you don’t need and prepare to slow down.
This piece is the perfect addition to a relaxing and cosy living room scheme.
This artwork was create as a limited edition of only 5 and is perfect for people who love to wrap up warm and explore the woods as the leaves crunch under their feet in autumn. Dog walkers, runners and tree lovers alike will fall in love with this magical scene.

If you have someone on your list that’s all about the cosy nights in with candles, blankets and a hot chocolate then ‘The Corridor of Colour’ will bring autumn into their homes all year around. The tree trunks shimmer in a copper ink that changes with the moving light and the red and orange hues bring warmth. It’s a limited edition of 5 and only 4 are left at time of publishing.
Staring up at Trees is the first piece from the ‘Returning to Spring’ collection. It was inspired by a photo I took on a walk with my daughter and that dreamy sense you get when lying on the grass in the park staring up at trees as they sway.
There’s a particular kind of magic in walking through woodland in spring - that moment when you step beneath the trees and the world softens. The air feels lighter, birds stitch sound into the silence, and colour returns in quiet celebration after winter’s hush. These pieces are born from those unhurried, technology-free wanderings - from the feeling of being cocooned, of sunlight filtering through branches, of bark beneath fingertips and blossom on the breeze. I worked instinctively and joyfully, layering colour, texture and mark like memories gathered along a path. Each piece is an invitation to pause, to feel that childlike lift of the season turning, and to rediscover a place where calm and energy exist together - somewhere to rest, to recharge, and to quietly dream.

Birch Trees in Bluebell Wood – Limited Edition Lino Print
A celebration of woodland wonder and the return of spring.
Inspired by that magical time of year when bluebells bloom in carpets across woodlands and gardens, Birch Trees in Bluebell Wood captures the shift from winter’s grey stillness to the vibrant renewal of spring. With silver birch bark gleaming and fresh greens bringing life to the forest floor, this piece invites you to pause and be transported to a quiet, blooming glade — no matter the season.
The Making Process
This piece is printed using the lino reduction method, where more of the lino block is carved away between each ink layer. Once completed, the block cannot be reused — making each edition truly unique and impossible to reproduce.
Birch Trees in Bluebell Wood features multiple hand-printed layers in carefully mixed Cranfield oil-based inks. The subtle play of colour and contrast brings depth, light, and texture to this serene woodland scene.

The coast is a magical place that can wash away our troubles and re-ignite a childhood sense of wonder in us. If that sounds like the happy place of someone close to you then here are some suggestions for you.
Tumbling – Limited Edition Lino Print
Storm Babet. A wild North Sea. A moment of fearless joy.
Tumbling is a celebration of the raw, untamed waves of the North Sea. During a family visit to Beadnell, Storm Babet rolled in — and while most people stayed indoors, I grabbed my running shoes, sketchbook, and watercolours, and went out to meet the storm.
I sat (safely) on the rocks, mesmerised by the sea whipped into frenzy: waves tumbling over each other in a dramatic, powerful dance. That energy — that sense of wild freedom — is captured here in layers of colour, texture, and movement.
Whether you see power, calm, or adventure in it, Tumbling invites you to reconnect with the elements.
The Process
Created using the linocut reduction method, Tumbling is printed from a single block, carved back layer by layer. This irreversible process means the edition is truly limited — once the block is gone, it’s gone.
There are six layers of hand-rolled Cranfield Traditional oil-based relief ink, applied to archival-grade Fabriano Unica paper, a blend of 50% cotton and 50% wood pulp. The subtle surface texture allows for delicate variations in light and pigment.
Look closely and you’ll see zesty lemon yellows mingling with stormy teals and deep blues, hinting at the fleeting sunlight beneath the storm.

Only one person can own this so make sure it goes to someone who will dance when they see it.

Dreaming of Paris – Limited Edition Lino Print
A city of light, art, and longing.Paris lingers in the heart long after you leave — a city where every street tells a story, every golden-hour moment feels cinematic, and every pastry seems too beautiful to eat. Dreaming of Paris is an ode to that feeling — the glow of the Seine at dusk, the quiet joy of an artist sketching in the shadows of the timeless elegance of Parisian architecture.
Whether you've wandered its streets or simply dream of doing so, this piece invites you to step into the romance, creativity, and beauty of a city that continues to inspire the world.
The Creation Process
This piece combines lino reduction printing with a jigsaw technique. The lino was carefully divided into four interlocking pieces to apply a shimmering metallic base layer. I then carved architectural details into the block and overprinted with soft pastel tones, bringing structure and atmosphere together in delicate harmony.

For the budding Alice stepping
into their Wonderland era…
I have long been fascinated by big blooms, tactile foliage and the talking garden in Wonderland. For the Alice’s in your world, these garden inspired pieces are just what the Mad Hatter ordered.
Snap, Dragon!
Squeeze the sides of these blooms and they snap like a dragon protecting its gold. It’s pure magic as a child and the wonder of how these flowers grow their own mechanism still fills me with awe.
Their edible heads attract bumblebees and look like they’ve been plucked right out of Wonderland.
‘In most gardens,’ the Tiger-lily said, ‘they make the beds too soft - so that the flowers are always asleep.’
Alice in Wonderland
Created in a combination of lusciously layered paints in vivid colours and details in oil pastel, chalk pastels, paint pen and gold leaf, the blooms appear to swoon in the bright sunshine. The piece is deliberately naive in the way the yellow circle suggests the sunshine - we’ve all made pictures as children with a big sun like that.
Perfect decor for an entrance - be welcomed with colourful joy.

A Scent on the Breeze
Imagine these hypnotic poppies guiding you to sleep like Dorothy and her friends on their way to the Emerald City (but without the wicked witch) and relaxing with the scent of the Buddleia nectar on the breeze and the gentle hum of butterflies and bees fluttering all around.
Both Buddleia and Poppies often grow in the harshest of environments. They’re survivors and share their beauty despite the challenge. In this piece, these flowers are thriving and helping the insects to do so too. Created in multiple layers of paint with details in gold leaf, pastel, oil pastel and pen on canvas, the textures really bring the delicacy of the poppies and the fulness of the Buddleia to the forefront against the ultimate blue sky.
This lively piece is perfect decor for a busy entertaining space.

Listening Ears
When you first touch a leaf on a Lambs’ Ear plant, its quite unbelievable how soft it really is. The name could not be more accurate and the minty tone of the green colouring just adds to this.
Built up in thin layers of acrylic paint on board and framed in a halo of gold leaf, the foliage shines like the hero it is without need for a flower. The gold leaf catches the travelling light throughout the day so the piece never quite looks the same at any given time.
Perfect decor for a calm bedroom.

Last but by no means least is a piece that takes me back to my childhood. When my Nana first showed me the Lamb’s Ear plant in her garden I was spellbound by how soft it was.
