A Gift of Colour and Calm: The Art Lover’s Christmas Guide
As the seasons change, I’m always drawn to the shifting colours and textures that appear in nature — from the glow of late autumn light on the coastline to the soft pastels of winter mornings. These changes inspire every piece I create: the sense of calm that comes from standing still in a landscape, and the quiet energy that stirs beneath it.
This Christmas, I wanted to bring that same feeling into gifting — with a collection of hand-printed artworks designed to share colour, warmth, and connection. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful stocking filler or a statement piece for someone special, here are a few ways to make your gifts truly meaningful this season.
A Handmade Christmas with a Personal Touch: Teal and Copper for 2023
It’s that time of year again - time for the new Christmas collection.

Made from a 10cm plywood base, hand painted and handprinted then finished with twine, these beautiful ornaments are hardwearing and beautiful - perfect for homes with children or pets (Last year one of my customers’ trees was knocked over by their dog and the ornaments were completely unscathed - the tree was a little worse for wear though!).
