But Coastal Décor is so Tacky!

Driftwood mirrors, seashells and rope. That is the staple of generic coastal décor. But coastal décor is so much more!

When I moved to the coast I wanted my new home to reflect my new life by the sea. So I set to work on trying to find pieces and accents to add to my home. What I found was mass produced, generic paintings, lamps with glued on rope, and flimsy driftwood mirrors. Hmmm. Not quite the look I was going for.

I promote creating a haven in your own home. This isn't just marketing spiel- this has come from my own experiences, and my research into wellbeing. For those of you that have not seen my Instagram page, I have suffered severe trauma. This lead to me going downhill and finding myself in a very dark place. Once I hit rock bottom I realised that the only way is up. So I went back to school and studied- I delved into psychology and found out about the impact of our own surroundings on our psyche. It made sense. In London I was surrounded by busy, chaotic and often aggressive vibes. I yearned for calm, fun and mostly freedom. I found that by the sea. So I packed up and headed to the coast and have never looked back. 

When it came to creating a stylish coastal sanctuary- I was stuck. I wanted style but not generic mass-produced tack. I wanted artwork that was authentic, soulful and unique. This was hard to come by. So I began to paint again. And from there my work as a full-time artist began. 

Six years later I still paint the ocean- because it saved me. And it made me realise that nature has a healing power all by itself. However, I realise that not everyone can up-sticks and head to the coast. Life simply isn't that easy! But you can bring the coast to you- and all of the feelings and emotions that it brings. 

Adding unique artwork, with the colours that you love, will not only transform a space, it can exude feelings of freedom, inspiration and calm. That is why I paint. I want to share these feelings in the only way I know how.

I have also created prints of some of my most popular work. It can be a big commitment if you haven't bought original artwork before, so please take a look at my prints on canvas here.
