Quiet moments while thinking of you

A still life featuring some of my favourite objects.

I love this one! Pink underpainting to have that warmth shine through and a hand stained frame in a matching deep green to show off the wood grain.

This piece is called 'Quiet moments while thinking of you' and is made for anyone missing a loved one.

Custom painted floating frame.

I am a Brisbane based still life painter with British roots whose work explores the emotional resonance of everyday objects. My paintings centre on familiar domestic elements—fruit, flowers, mugs and collected vessels—arranged in intimate table settings that reflect themes of memory, ritual and connection to home. Drawing on my British background alongside my life in Australia, I’m interested in the quiet traditions that shape daily life, such as morning tea, shared meals and moments gathered around the table.
My colour palette is vibrant and expressive, often drawing on the bold visual language of 1990s pop culture and graphic design. Within these compositions I frequently include gin bottles and other familiar objects as subtle references to the rhythms of modern motherhood—the small moments of pause, humour and resilience that exist within busy family life. These elements introduce a playful narrative while reflecting the balance between domestic routine and personal identity.
I paint the quiet moments we almost miss — the objects that outlive us and the rituals that hold us together.
