I actually find it so hard to paint out of season now 😂🌸 I’m currently obsessed with how the pinks and purples are all just blurred into a mess everywhere. I can’t get enough in my eyes! I have three species in here, you’ll have to zoom in to identify them.

My duo of canvases that I dropped off for exhibition at Upfest ✨👯‍♀️ I wanted them to give a hint into what I plan to paint on the day, and I clearly still haven’t decided whether I’m painting a fungi or a flower scene 😂 I’ll be at the To***co Factory 16th May from 10am

🌿Forget me not💙 Sometimes an awkward shaped canvas needs 3000 pics to represent it properly. I’ve been battling with this piece for a while and I’m so glad I can finally call it finished so I can stop staring at it across the room, wondering what else it needs (apparently it was just a few dandelion docks and some real leaf prints to top it off 💅)

🌿Hi Spring🌿 The way I had to resist overdoing this piece and throwing every single spring flower at it. But the shaggy moss, leftover from winter, and the fresh celandines popping up says it all 🌼

It makes me excited to see how my paintings will turn out this year. I never really plan my art. I just walk and take pics, get ideas, sketch and then wait until I’m desperate to get it onto canvas.

I have more exciting exhibition news to share soon, hopefully this piece will feature

Finished off my canvas that I painted live at on Saturday. What a delish mixture of metallics, colours and textures in one place. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this and I think the pressure of painting this in public pushed me to be more daring than normal.

Thank you to for hosting me live painting today. Had so many lovely people stop to chat and watch me produce this piece.

My two faves Reece and Kiri obvs popped by to help me for a bit before heading off for chips without me 🥲

The exhibition is up until the end of March so make sure you swing by. I’ll hopefully be back again with another live paint in the future, and keep an eye out for the final piece that I started today 👀

🍃Tuckett Field - Frenchay Moor 🍃 My Little Corner of Bristol Collection is growing slowly. Dipping my toe back into landscapes to capture the wider view of my day to day. I spent all of last year painting close ups, it feels good to switch it up and try something completely out of my comfort zone.
