I credit cold water swimming with reigniting my creative flame after a seven year career break and genuinely believe I owe everything to the water. I am proud to be completely plastic free!

Her colourful, imaginative and dreamlike style can be appreciated by all ages.

Say hello to
Molly
What I love about illustrating, and more recently nail art, is telling a story through one piece of art, finding a visual answer to a client's (or my!) idea. This usually all starts with a conversation to get to the heart of what someone wants - whether that's discussing what you love most about your Granny for a personalised illustrated card for her birthday, or what would make you smile every time you looked down at your nails that week. I then get stuck into the process - thumbnail sketches, researching and finding inspiration then bringing it all to life through drawing and choosing colour palettes.

Whether that's on horse back or on my own two feet. We are regularly stomping around the coast path or forestry, looking for new inspiration. I was in the horse industry since my late teens but after some health issues, I decided to give it up and finally start the floristry business I always wanted to try in January 2024. I'm totally self taught. I used my small amount of savings to make my first order of dried flowers and have just grown from there.
