Holidays in the Snow

I wanted to create a scene that feels like a classic holiday memory—nestled in soft, falling snow—whilst recalling the luxurious traditions we love, from twinkling lights to warm, indulgent festive treats, gifts and fun. I tried to capture the extravagance of the Christmas season echoing winter charm in traditional tones of deep burgundy reds and magnificent shiny gold.

My art is a dialogue between the coastal landscapes of my current life in Australia and the cherished memories of my childhood holidays in North Wales, and my Mum's summer flower garden.
Moving to Australia 20 years ago connected me back to the sea and it's summer sunset skies, but my paintings are deeply rooted in the nostalgic warmth of childhood summers—playing on northern Welsh beaches with my family, and helping my Mum in the garden cutting roses carnations and lilac blooms. Their sweet scent in the warm summer air was magical.
Painting is my ultimate sanctuary; when I start to mix up some paint or pick up a brush, it is a pure, immersive escape, accompanied only by some music, a coffee and my dear old dog Peps.
