It started with Eve's Mural which was created to remember my friend's first born daughter. As we crept into the 2020s, I was busy realising my sketches onto their nursery wall for their second daughter who was born later that year. (check out Eve's Greeting Cards for more pictures)

Then came Poppy's Castle, another mural for friends but this time for an older child but not yet a young adult. This one was painted during the hottest week of summer 2021. Turns out that paint reacts very different in the winter versus the summer. If you're ever wanting anyone to tell you the truth...ask an 8-year-old!

Next up is Matthew's Garden. Not a mural, as the parents wanted their child to choose their own mural when they're old enough. Instead, I created a painting in secret during the summer of 2022, using a canvas that I had 'stolen' from their home many years previously because in my opinion it was hideous (!), and repurposed into a reinterpretation of their beautiful garden, right down to the pigeons that like to get busy on the fence posts! It now sits proudly in their entrance hall and they seem quite taken by it.

By Christmas 2023, my friends with Eve's Mural had moved house and so I had another mural to paint on Joy's bedroom wall. By this point, their daughter was 3 years old and requested a magical fairy forest, which I completed just before Christmas Day. 

This was shortly followed by Matthew becoming a big brother, and so I reimagined a canvas I found at work into Poppy's Field of Dreams, which I presented to them in summer 2024 and they hung on the opposite wall in their hallway to Matthew's Garden.

To finish out 2024, and to celebrate the second birthday of another friend's son, I created William's Whimsical World, another canvas featuring an array of quirky animals from around the globe.
