So I think most people know me as a surfer, and you can find all my surf related content over at @elles.belles. But my other passion in life is painting. I’m starting this account to share some of my works, which are mainly figurative studies and coastal scenes. Thanks for following along!

‘On Three,’ 35 x 27cm, oil on paper.
I enjoy painting people, especially as part of a coastal scene. This is one of my favourite paintings so far. I love the light, the vibrant colours, and the moment captured.

Everyone tells you that your kids grow up too fast. Well, it’s true, but you always have the moments and the memories 🫶

I’m still torn between colour and black and white 🤷‍♀️

What is it they say… colour gets all the credit but value does all the work?

Recent oil studies experimenting with pyrrole red. I’ve always been a bit scared of using red paint, but I think maybe I’m coming round to it ♥️

These lovelies are all off to their new home; a beautiful holiday house by the sea on the Isle of Anglesey! I can’t wait to see this collection up on the walls, bringing the seaside vibes ☀️

‘Flower Fairies,’ 23 x 31cm, oil on paper.
My beautiful nieces making daisy chains in the garden. Looking at this piece afterwards, I could just imagine them each with a pair of fairy wings🧚🧚

Thank you @mattwhaleyart and @saltburnstudiosandgallery for inviting me to feature as a guest artist in your Christmas show. This is my first time exhibiting, and it felt pretty special to see my paintings hanging in a gallery space amongst other beautiful artworks. The exhibition is open every weekend 1-4pm from now until the 14th December.
And thank you for the professional framing @saltburnframing
