Go Big with Field of Dreams
I think a lot of people are a bit nervous of putting a giant piece of art in their home, but I think a larger picture adds that wow factor. Theres something about art that really pulls a room together and brings that feeling of home. Large statement pieces can really change a space, and you don’t need a big room to hang them in. A large scale painting in a small room can be like a mural, paintings can be lent up against the wall for a more relaxed feel, or made into a wall for dividing rooms and hiding areas. I’ve used the statement piece Field of Dreams to show you Read more …
International Womens Day at Ollie Quinn
I’ve been working away on a series of mini paintings for International Women’s Day, to celebrate our strength and femininity. All paintings are available online and can be viewed at the Ollie Quinn Store in Covent Garden, London. I’m excited that 15% of all sales will be going to Womens Aid, a national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. The paintings show our strength and femininity, our ability to bloom and flourish through life ups and downs. I want to create a positive portrait of women, to make them feel like anything is possible. I’ve also painted the front of the store with a mural that brings a fresh feeling to the famous Neal Read more …
Isla Time-lapse
I really wanted to give you a peek into my process and how I created new artwork Isla. Using lush greens with pops of yellow, I wanted to make a painting that would work well in any room. I drew inspiration from nature and the willingness to explore ourselves in its environment. I wanted to bring the emotion of wonder to life. An emotion I feel every time I step outside into the forest. The color green has healing power and is understood to be the most restful and relaxing color for the human eye to view. Green can help enhance vision, stability and endurance. In this painting I used spray paint and acrylics to Read more …

Om Yoga Show
I’m feeling really inspired by meeting all of you at the Om Yoga Show. It was a wonderful event with so many like minded yogis from all around the world. There were classes of all different types of yoga as well as stalls and stands reminding us to be kind to ourselves and those around us. I created 3 new pieces for the show inspired to create a zen feel in your home. I wanted to make a positive impact in inspiring us to live more harmoniously in ourselves and the world around us. We grow like nature, rising like a flower from the mud to bloom in ways that were unexpected. These three exclusive prints flow with a delicate energy to Read more …
Ask Italian Glasgow
I recently got to paint the walls of the newly renovated Ask Italian in the city centre of Glasgow. Inspired by the region of Pulia, I used the vibrant tuquoise of the sea contrasting with the white washed walls of Pulias buildings. The mural takes the rugged rock landscape, the structure of the buildings and the wildness of the sea. Movement carries your eyes accross the mural with details of the landscape, silhoettes of people swimming in the sea and shapes drifting in places to represent the famous Tree of Life Mosaic in the Cathedral of Otranto. The second wall has olives and the famous Trulli huts, with hoopoe birds and greens from Read more …
Upfest 2017
This year at Upfest, Europe’s largest, free street art & graffiti festival, I got to paint at The Steam Crane, collaborating with the very talented Saroj Patel. We’ve worked together before and both have a love for nature and the world around us. We wanted to create a peaceful underwater scene where human and sealife are at harmony with one another. It was a wonderful weekend meeting lots of art fans and painting alongside 300 other artists across Bristol. Here are some amazing process photos by Wayne of us working away before the rain started. We hope you enjoy the mural as much as we enjoyed making it, it will be there to see until Upfest Read more …
Croydon Street Art Jam
Last weekend I got to paint at the Croydon Street Art jam organised by CDN Magazine to celebrate musicians who have lived and worked around Croydon. Twenty-three artists took over the ‘Croydon Arts Quarter’ at St George’s Walk, including live art and music to combine both creative genres. I painted Katie Melua, who went to the Croydon BRIT school, and was discovered there by music producer Michael Batt. I took inspiration from her song I Cried for You. It was such an amazing day to get the chance to paint and have a chance to talk to so many lovely people throughout the day. “I Cried for you, and the sky cried for you, and Read more …
Wild Thing Interior
I’ve just finished new painting Wild Thing, which takes its name from the yoga pose. The pose opens the heart up toward the sky, growing from the depths below. The term is derived from Sanskrit camatkara, meaning “miracle” or “surprise,” and asana, meaning “pose.” Camatkarasana is translated as “the ecstatic unfolding of the enraptured heart.” I absolutely love spa and wellness centres and how relaxing and serene they are. I took inspiration from centres across Bali and Indonesia for inspiration in this interior. With accessories made from natural materials and my love of plants they have a cool calming effect which can change and grow over time. “Do not let me forget the light, do Read more …
Print Week
I’m coming to the end of some editions of prints with as little as two left in an edition. With prints in all sizes, they are an affordable way to collect a limited edition piece of art and perfect to give as a gift to make another persons day. Each print is hand signed and numbered, with some being finished with paint or gold leaf to make each one individual. They are printed onto a high quality art paper, with the studio being approved by the Fine Art Guild to ensure the highest quality. You have the option to choose your print framed or unframed. I wrap each one in tissue paper accompanied with a note and a feather Read more …
