That’s a wrap on Openart Folke 2026. Thanks so much to Aimee Craddock for allowing me to show my paintings in her space alongside her beautifully handcrafted jewellery. And thanks to everyone who peeked in over the weekend to have a look!

Unfortunately I couldn’t be there in person this time, but I’m already looking forward to what next year’s festival might bring.

This painting took a long time to find itself.

It went through several lives before it became this. The colours and the energy changed completely.

There’s a kind of hum to it now. The yellow and purple working against each other, and somehow together. Standing in the sea with the sun overhead and the cool water splashing around your legs is what this painting reminds me of.

I love the freedom you can feel in this piece.

The reds and yellows carry a lot of heat, which the blue sweeps through like a fresh breeze.
