Oh hi there!
Congratulations, you’ve found my SIDE QUEST shop: A little corner of my website to share the things I paint for fun! No profound meanings or artists statements - just me painting stuff I like for a laugh, because I’ve decided I need more whimsy in my life and I reckon you do too!
Here you’ll find original paintings and fine art prints to purchase and if you’d like to keep up to date with the latest silly things I’m painting, you can check out my dedicated instagram page!

Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t panic! You’ve discovered the stupid section of my website that’s dedicated to daft stuff that I paint just for the hell of it - an art side quest, if you will!
-
It all started with a very silly birthday gift for my husband - a double portrait of Bronco and Brutus from much loved film Gentlemen Broncos. I had so much fun painting it but I was also surprised at how much I learned from working from such different subject matter. Not only was it an exercise in joy, but it was also an exercise in the observation of textures and colours that I’m not used to in my other work. So I’ve decided to carry on painting them for the pure fun of it, but also to expand my practice as a whole because as an artist you never stop learning!

These fun pieces are very different from the art you’ll see on the rest of this website so I wanted to keep the two things separate. The art that I’m better known for is an exploration of myself and the human condition - it’s a reflection of my emotional, contemplative side. But I have a very silly side too. As well as being a serious artist, I am also an incredibly unserious, joy-seeking idiot who loves dancing in the front row, making ridiculous fancy dress costumes, consuming silly art and communicating in movie quotes. This side quest is just an extension of all that daft stuff!

Feel free to drop me a message on instagram and suggest new people for me to paint! No guarantees though - I make these paintings for fun and because the subject matter brings me joy, so if I don’t like the subject I’m probably not going to enjoy painting it! Harry Potter fans will be disappointed - sorry, not sorry!

In theory, yes. Each painting is created on an 18×24cm wooden panel then scanned and printed the exact same size onto A4 paper. If I scale them up, it might look a bit odd, but if you really, really want me to and if you ask really, really nicely, I’ll give it a go. If it looks rubbish though, you only have yourself to blame! (I’m kidding, I will blame only myself and cry myself to sleep)

Yes! International shipping rates vary from country to country so please contact me to ask for a quote, letting me know which items you’re interested in purchasing.
Unfortunately, due to ridiculous GPSR regulations, I can’t ship prints to the EU. Hopefully the bureaucrats will come to their senses soon and the rules will change in the not so distant future, but for now I can only send original artworks to the EU. -
No. This is a strict joy appreciation space. Kindly go away.
