I'm a Sunderland-born artist whose work is deeply rooted in the character and heritage of my home city.

my paintings capture Sunderland’s past and present, creating a sense of nostalgia that resonates with anyone who knows the city’s story. Working primarily in watercolour and Yorkshire Tea, i blends soft washes of tea with carefully placed bursts of colour, giving her pieces a distinctive warmth and texture.

my subjects are always personal: scenes that evoke memories of Sunderland’s shipbuilding legacy, its iconic landmarks, and the everyday places that shaped local life — from Binns department store to Jackie White’s Market. Each painting reflects my work connection to the city and her desire to preserve moments that might otherwise fade.

I originally trained in fashion and textiles, completing my BTEC before moving into the world of fashion design. Over time, i developed her own unique painting style, combining my design background with my love for Sunderland’s history to create artwork that feels both familiar and timeless.
