Recreating the places you love most in watercolour

Hi, I’m Kelly

I’m a watercolour artist based in Wiltshire specialising in creating detailed bespoke illustrations of places that are special to you.

Drawing inspiration from nature and everyday life, I find beauty in places that tell a story. Through the transparent, fluid nature of watercolour, I aim to bring these special places to life, inviting you to experience them through a different lens.

Whether it’s a cherished family home, a blooming garden, a wedding venue, or a favourite holiday spot, or somewhere else that holds a story, I love capturing meaningful locations so you can enjoy them every day.

I also run monthly watercolour workshops in Chippenham, where I encourage others to explore this wonderfully calming and creative hobby.

If you’d like to commission a bespoke illustration, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message and let’s bring your special place to life!

Thank you for being here,

Explore my work

Take a look at my portfolio page for examples of my work and style of painting. I mostly illustrate buildings, landscapes, pets and florals, but am also open to new challenges!

If you’re interested in commissioning an illustration of your own or as a gift for someone, get in touch and let me know what you have in mind. I’d love to create some beautiful for you!

Attend a workshop

I run monthly watercolour workshops for all levels on Saturday afternoons in Chippenham.

Over two hours, I take you through the basic techniques of watercolour painting, then guide you through the process of creating your own piece of artwork.

All materials (and plenty of encouragement) are provided and everyone is welcome, whether you’re an art enthusiast or have never picked up a paintbrush before. No experience needed, just a love of colour and creativity!

My next two workshops on 20 September and 18 October are themed around painting landscapes and places, and it’s up to you what you choose to paint. Find out more below and reach out if you have any questions!

Browse the shop

You can find a range of original paintings, art prints, greeting cards, postcards, watercolour supplies, and gift ideas in my online shop! This is also where you can book upcoming workshops.
