Abedi the elephant.
Original painting. Oil on linen 90×90cm
This painting came from a real moment on safari. One morning on our early game drive we saw a family of elephants happily munching on teh shrubs having their breakfast. A large matriarch stood her ground, gently protecting her family from us. She didn’t charge, nor did she need to, she simply walked near adn then stood, safe in the knowledge that all was well. What a moment. What a glorious thing to have witnessed.
Often my elephants contain bright colours mixed along with the naturalistic grey and soft browns. This is because the first time I saw an elephant in the wild it took my breath away. It made my heart melt and it made me go “wow” . And my colours are designed to make you go “wow” too. This elephant would have a presence in your home and yet is calm and gentle. It's a balance I try to create.
The elephant is painted in oil on linen but it is worth noting that the background in this particular painting is not the natural linen showing through but instead it's a gentle warm pale grey background. This gives the bright colours space to breathe and would look superb in a neutral room allowing one of the colours used to be an accent colour elsewhere in the room with for instance cushions or other soft furnishings.
You might like to know that the name Abedi is a Swahili name. People with the name Abedi have a deep inner desire for a stable, loving family or community, and a need to work with others and to be appreciated. It felt like the perfect names for this loving elephant who watched over her family while they ate their breakfast.

Dragonfly is an original oil painting on linen, 60 × 60 cm.
This subtle and beautiful dragonfly is painted as a quiet celebration of light, pattern, and movement. The wings have been built up in small, carefully placed sections of colour, giving the surface an almost mosaic-like quality that catches the eye without overpowering the calm of the piece. It’s a painting that rewards slow looking.
Rather than striving for strict realism, this work leans into atmosphere and feeling. Soft, harmonious colours sit alongside one another to create a sense of balance and stillness, evoking warm days, hovering wings, and fleeting moments in nature that are easy to miss but deeply memorable.
Painted in oils on linen, the dragonfly’s natural tones are gently lifted by subtle blues, greens, and hints of warmer colour, allowing the form to glow softly against the background.
At 60 × 60 cm, this piece has a peaceful presence, well suited to any room, hallway, or reading nook — a painting created to bring quiet joy and calm.
This piece comes unframed, with D-rings and hanging cord attached, ready to hang.

A dazzling lion bursting with colour and joy. "Tamasha" is the Swahili word for celebration, reflecting the spirit and energy of this striking piece.
Oil on Canvas 100x 100cm
Colourful lion wall art.
Let me tell you a bit about Tamasha
I’m lucky enough to have visited the Masai Mara in Kenya a couple of times and the camp that I stay at, Offbeat Mara is situated very near a pride of lions which bears its name- the Offbeat pride. The Offbeat pride has been quite dominant in that area for sometime and has four beautiful males to its name and one of them is the inspiration for Tamasha.
This lion is probably my most colourful lion I’ve ever painted, with incredibly vibrant pigments set against a dark, grey black background. The colours are an exaggeration, however the first time I saw a lion in the wild I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I have used these colours to give you the wow factor of a real lion. I want to take your breath away with this extra extraordinary work of art.
You don’t have to have been to Africa to absolutely love the look of this lion!
“Tamasha” is a truly unique piece and will make you smile every time you look at him.

Isla is a beautiful statement highland cow.
She is 60cm x 60cm. Oil on linen.
The beautiful colourful cow has been created using excellent quality oil paints, in a series of layers to great depth and keep a vibrancy of colour. She's is a pretty cow surrounded by flowers and could be a wonderful addition to your home. Most of my highlands are based on my own reference photos from The new forest, or the Peak district and they each have their own distinct unique character.
Isla’s lovely colours are vibrant and joyful.
Isla will make you smile every time you look at her.

Little Cub
30x30cm
Oil painting on wide edged linen canvas
I love creating these one-of-a-kind Small oil paintings on Linen Canvas.
A great opportunity to have an original work of art with a small original. Looks super on its own or mixed with others from the collection.
I love working in layers, often beginning in watercolour (yes watercolour) on canvas as this is how I work in y sketchbook. Then the the time is right I carry on in oils. Watercolour isn’t soluble in oil and so the underpainting does not get muddy when the oil paint is applied over it. Its a wonderful way to work with spontaneity and careful detail all blended together. My unique approach to animal painting, marked by a playful and whimsical touch, adds depth and character to the piece.
A great way to start your collection, or to treat yourself to something special, even if you’ve run out of wall space.
