The TranquilHive Story

For many years, I’ve had the privilege of running my own specialist communications company,  working with international clients. I also worked for the NHS and the University of Oxford. The work was rewarding, but it was also demanding and intense. It led me on a path to find a calmer way of being - a way to slow down and rediscover myself amidst the busyness of life and revive my creative practice, which I’d been neglecting.

It’s been a journey of growth, learning to accept the passing of time, navigating midlife, and seeking joy as well as helping others on the same journey. I’m delighted and privileged to work full-time as an artist sharing my work with others.

From my studio in Oxford, I create abstract watercolours and mixed media art, exploring marks, colours and intricate, detailed patterns that blend my maximalist style with my love of ancient and contemplative art. These works are carefully curated to cultivate calm, reflection, and self-embrace. Finding joy even when things are tough, being busy but quiet at the centre of our being - this is what I hope my work helps you achieve.

It’s the most fulfilling and best work I’ve ever done. Come, let me share it with you!
