I’m absolutely thrilled to share that my paintings have been transformed into a series of beautiful banners lining Sloane Street in London. To see my work soaring above one of the city’s most iconic shopping streets has been an experience I’ll never forget. It is a true pinch-me moment!
This exciting collaboration is part of the Sloane Street Transformation project, which celebrates artists and designers who are deeply passionate about what they create. For me, painting has always been about capturing joy and energy with moments of colour and emotion that make the world feel alive. To see those same expressive, floral paintings reimagined as large-scale banners in such a prestigious setting feels both surreal and deeply rewarding.
Walking down Sloane Street and looking up to see my colours dancing in the wind was extraordinary. The way the light catches the banners, the contrast of vibrant florals against the elegant architecture, and the steady hum of London life below. It feels like a celebration of art in the everyday. I love that people can encounter my work unexpectedly as they stroll, shop, or commute. It’s a reminder that art isn’t confined to galleries; it can live in the heart of the city too.
Being linked with Sloane Street is such an honour. It’s a place that represents design excellence, heritage, and creativity. The street has long been associated with some of the world’s most iconic fashion houses and luxury brands, so to have my paintings become part of that visual landscape is incredibly humbling.
As an artist based in Brighton, I’ve always been inspired by the interplay of light, colour, and emotion — whether that’s in the vast Sussex skies or a burst of wildflowers. To see those same inspirations translated into banners in the centre of London feels like my work has taken on a new life of its own. It’s been such a joy to hear from people who have spotted them and shared their photos and excitement — it really does mean the world.
I’m deeply grateful to the team behind the Sloane Street project for inviting me to be part of something so special. Seeing my artwork represented in this way, woven into the rhythm of one of London’s most beautiful streets, has been both thrilling and moving. It’s moments like these that remind me why I paint: to connect, to uplift, and to bring a little burst of colour into people’s lives.
