Jill contacted me through Etsy to create a portrait for her family – she knew she wanted it in her kitchen and that it had to pop! Jill sent me lots of pictures of her lovely family, we discussed how they would appear and what […]

The Conn family tree
This was a Christmas present for Nicki’s parents, with their three kids, respective kids and grand kids. Cousette and David love a good cruise amongst other things, so I added these details to make this truly theirs… As ever, each person was drawn from normal […]
Shona’s family tree
A lovely tree for a smashing family… Shona and her team of super smart cookies! This tree is completely bespoke, from the clothes to words and bikes -exactly as specified by the family. Apparently, it’s a big hit with the kids ‘it’s sick!!’ More family […]
Charlotte and Ansell’s gorgeous brood – family portrait
Some things can be a long time in the making, but they are still worth waiting for! I have been plotting this special family portrait with mum Charlotte for a few months now, but we are both very pleased with the results, a colourful, vibrant […]
Pam’s family tree
This is not that new an item, but amazingly, it’s slipped through the blogging net until now! I am very proud of this tree, although I was mostly very daunted by the prospect of over 50 people to draw initially! But the thing is, ultimately, […]
Lucy and John – family portrait
Another commission, this time for this very lovely family – loved the outfit and the doc mcstuffins! And here are the happy recipients of this surprise 40th birthday present! If you’re interested in a portrait for yourself or as a present for friends, […]
Family coat of arms
Families have their very own identity, their heritage and their quirks. And pets! So going back to tradition, I thought it would be nice to allow our modern families to revisit the concept of coat of arms.
Dean and family
a family portrait with a very young baby – it felt right to have them all huddled together – reflecting the special closeness we feel when a new person joins a family and makes it complete…
My family portraits shown in Born, Stoke Newington!
I have been given a fantastic opportunity to show my work in Born – a family/ baby shop where I live in Stoke Newington. This is the first time that my family portraits get an airing outside of the digital world, and I am absolutely […]
Pierrot le fou – my Tintin brother
M brother Pierre lives in Arbis, a tiny village close to Bordeaux, I don’t get to see him half as much as I would like to. So for his birthday, I decided to spend a bit of quality time with him at least on paper… […]
Barbapapa family – meet the barbagardons
I’ve always loved Barbapapa – and my kids have taken the bait big time – which is great, as it’s very imaginative and also it’s in FRENCH, which is forcing these blighty bilingual little buggers to practice la langue de mon pays. This was born […]
Freddie Mercury and the Flemings
This was such a fun commission to do… Meet the Flemings! This was a 40th birthday present and the brief was to include something about Queen and postcards, as Tom is an avid poster and fan of the band. 2 year old Enuka loves buzz […]
