Prints are fab. But when you hang an original? The vibe changes.

People say:
💬 “It feels so personal.”
💬 “There’s just nothing like it.”
That’s because originals carry the story, the energy — your connection.
👉 Commissions are open now. Want something that truly feels like you? Let’s talk.

🔴 SOLD: Ever been drawn to a painting and thought, “Why do I need this in my life?”
It’s not just impulse — it’s biology.
Certain colours light up the emotional parts of your brain. Blues calm. Oranges energise. Greens ground you.
That’s why I don’t just paint animals — I paint feelings.

You can't photograph what this painting actually does in real life.
Salty Gold is oil paint at its boldest — rich, vibrant colour with real gold leaf layered in. You can see the texture where the gold catches the light, and it changes constantly depending on where you're standing. It's like the painting is breathing.
I wanted this piece to feel like the coast hits you — that moment when you step onto the beach and the salt air, the light, the colour just smacks you right in the chest. That's the energy I was chasing.

Oil gives me something different to watercolour.
Where watercolour is my calm, oil is my fire. It lets me go bold, build up thick layers of colour, and push the vibrancy until it practically hums off the canvas. The gold leaf adds that raw, coastal shimmer — sun on wet sand, light on the water's surface.

This is one of those pieces that photos can't do justice. It needs a wall and real light. ☀️

The place you walk past every day could be the most powerful spot in your home.

Most people save their art for the living room — but it's the forgotten corners that often make the biggest difference. The hallway you rush through. The landing you barely notice. The bathroom you start every morning in.
These are the spaces where a single piece of art can completely shift how you feel in your own home.

On the days I wonder if what I do matters, I come back to these messages.

They move me every single time. 🥹 This is why I paint — not for the walls, but for the feeling it brings.

Is there a piece of mine that's been on your mind? Tell me below it means more to me than you know.....👇

A typical studio day for me:
I start with coffee in my Paris apartment studio - no commute needed!
Then I straighten up from the night before because I always leave it in absolute chaos when James calls me for dinner when he gets in from school.

By afternoon I'm usually so deep in the work I've lost track of time, moved between three different pieces whilst layers dry, and I'm surrounded by cold cups of tea I forgot to drink. I love that I get so absorbed I'm in my own world - though it can be dangerous because tiredness + obsession = overworking a piece, so I have to be strict with myself to PUT THE BRUSH DOWN.

It ends with genuine surprise when James gets home and feeling like I've been in a creative trance - my studio looks chaotic and messy, but somehow my artwork isn't. I search for clarity in my work even when my space is anything but.
This is what my creative life looks like - messy, beautiful, and exactly where I want to be. 🎨

Can you relate to losing track of time when you're doing what you love?

You know that moment where you fall in love with a print… then instantly panic because you’ve got zero clue how to frame it, where to put it, or if it’ll clash with the sofa? 😅
Been there. Fixed that.

My timeless paper prints = easy options that work for real homes and real humans:
✔️ Print-only if you’re a DIY hanger
✔️ Ready-to-hang if you want zero faff
✔️ Non-reflective glass that looks posh and doesn’t boss your lighting

Not sure what size or frame suits your room? Drop “WALL HELP” below and I’ll send you my zero-faff guide 🎯or I'll jut sort it for you x

Okay, my loves — I get asked this all the time:
“Sammie… what size should I go for to fit… you know… that space?” 😆

So today I’m showing you exactly what a 12×12 inch framed print looks like next to a 20×20 inch framed print — both sat happily on my fireplace hearth with my little green plant pot for scale… because honestly, she’s doing the Lord’s work in size comparisons. 💚🌱

Here’s the vibe:

🟦 12×12″ – Cute, classy, and perfect for shelves, snug corners, gifting, or adding a little ocean moment to your home.
🟩 20×20″ – BIG statement energy. Bold, beautiful, room-transforming. The one that makes guests go, “Oooooh, where’s that from?”
Both framed beautifully, both premium, both ready to hang, both zero faff. Just good vibes and gorgeous colour. ✨

I know choosing a size online can feel a bit like guessing the weather in Devon… unpredictable.
So I hope this helps you see the scale and pick your perfect fit with total confidence. 💙

You’ll find both sizes in my Premium Print Collection — canvas or paper, whatever suits your space.
Options = endless. Joy = guaranteed
Tap the link, peek at the Premium Print Collection, and choose the one your walls have been quietly begging for.
Big or small… she’s going to look fabulous.

She told me her print makes her smile every single morning.

One of my favourite messages to get is when someone tells me they walk past their print every morning and it makes them smile. Or that their octopus print is the first thing guests notice. Or that the colours just make their room feel happier.
That's the whole point for me. I don't paint to fill wall space — I paint because colour and nature have this way of shifting how a room feels. How you feel in it.
Whether it's the deep ocean blues that calm you down after a long day, or a flash of iridescent shimmer that catches your eye and lifts your mood — that's what I want my art to do in your home. A little moment of joy, every single day. 💙
What pulls you in most — the ocean pieces, the bold colour, the shimmer? I'd love to know what you're drawn to. Tell me below — I read every single comment. 🐙

I met him three days in a row. 🐙

Same bay. Same spot. Just off the coast of Collioure in the South of France - the Mediterranean shimmering around me as I snorkelled in water that wasn't quite clear enough, but clear enough for this.

By day three, something had shifted between us.

I reached my hand toward him — not to touch, just to see what would happen. Would he ink me? Jet away?

Instead, he picked up a large shell, lifted it over his head, and seemed to play.
I had to surface to laugh.

I'd expected fear. I found intelligence. Curiosity. Mischief. And in that single moment, a fascination was born that has never left me — and has shaped almost everything I've painted since.

Erin Churchman has written about my muse, my octopuses, and the chance encounter that started it all.

If you've ever felt inexplicably drawn to these extraordinary creatures — I think you'll understand completely. 🌊
