Our Story

Whether I’m trying to capture the rugged scenery of the Bulgarian countryside where I grew up, overlooking a mountainous landscape, or the gentle rolling hills of Surrey where I now live, the natural world is my favourite subject.

I love reflecting the colours of the seasons. Capturing the changing light and colours of the turning seasons and representing the natural world in an abstract form is both a challenge and a pleasure. From autumnal whirls of reds and oranges to austere whites and greys of winter, I try to capture the essence of the landscape whilst leaving something to the imagination of you, the viewer.
 

I paint mainly from my imagination because I love the freedom of evocation and intuition. This often results in a wide variety of expressive artwork – from florals and semi-abstract landscapes to cosmic and pure abstract work.

 

I love using lots of different products which means that I am constantly experimenting with them and consequently I work in a large range of media, ranging from oil, charcoal and acrylics to handmade felt and mixed media. I don’t have a particular favourite. It just depends on how I am feeling when I decide to start on a new piece of work.

Our Products

My work also includes crafted pictures, decorations and jewellery-making and design and am constantly developing a jewellery collection for adults and children that combines my love for texture and natural materials. These are unique pieces featuring necklaces, bracelets, hair clips and accessories inspired by the natural world - vibrant florals, made of pure merino and mohair wool by using the ancient wet felting process.

 

The end result I am aiming for is an eye-catching designs that is kept as simple as possible. After all, you cannot improve on nature!
