About the artist 

I am a vintage assemblage artist based in South Wales.
I collect antique and vintage broken things, objects that have been forgotten, discarded, or left behind.

Through my work, I give them a new presence and a new story.
I create using my imagination, building assemblages that are driven by feeling, memory, and curiosity. Each piece becomes part object, part story.
I am drawn to broken and unloved things, and I find beauty in what has been overlooked. Through making, I bring them together into something unexpected, something that asks the viewer to look again.
I make stories from fragments.

From Instagram to your home

Having built a wonderful following on Instagram, I am now excited to offer my unique assemblage art directly to you through this website. Explore my full gallery and find the perfect piece to add character and history to your space.

What an honour it is to now own this beautiful piece of artwork, especially knowing it was recently part of an exhibition. That alone makes it feel even more special. What truly moves me is the story behind it — every element used in its creation has lived a previous existence, and has now been thoughtfully and skilfully brought together to form something entirely new. It feels like a deeply personal story, told in such a unique and meaningful way. It’s not just something to look at, it’s something to feel. This piece has a way of waking up your mind and filling your heart with fresh thoughts and inspiration. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate — take the time to really look and absorb it. It truly is a beautiful and unforgettable work. Thank you, thank you. I absolutely love it
