My Story
I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but everything changed in 2011 when my granny introduced me to digital art on an iPad—I was instantly hooked. From that moment, I couldn’t stop doodling, creating a whole world of eccentric ladies and quirky animals. At the heart of it all was Virginia Delrimple—a chic fashionista with her own design brand, always effortlessly stylish and never without her signature red lips.
Fast forward to 2023—after years of focusing on my studies at school and university, I found myself in that glorious post-graduation summer, ready to dive back into my art properly. I had explored different styles during my A-Level Art, but I always felt most at home returning to the quirky, eccentric, and wholly whimsical style that first sparked my love for drawing in childhood and my early teens.
Since then, I’ve devoted my free time to bringing my whimsical world to life—whether on paper or iPad. I find the most joy in life’s simple, everyday moments—the unexpected happiness of a hay bale in a sunlit field, a dog splashing in the sea, or pastel-coloured houses by the coast. Growing up in the beautiful countryside of rural Suffolk certainly fuelled my imagination, shaping the way I see and capture the world around me.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the eccentric and unusual —whether it’s my husband's old-fashioned pipe, vintage parasols, or extravagant picnics and punting along the river. I love things that stand out, spark joy, and bring a smile. My Greek heritage also weaves its way into my work; as a quarter Greek, I find myself drawn to bold colours, intricate patterns, and a touch of Byzantine influence, adding an exotic flair to my whimsical world.
Lately, I’ve been exploring the joy of new mediums, especially clay. What started as an experiment with polymer clay earrings quickly turned into an obsession—I couldn’t stop! I’ve since expanded into creating functional pieces like whimsical clay coasters, bringing my playful characters to life in entirely new ways. The possibilities feel endless, and it’s so exciting to see my whimsical world take shape across different forms and materials.
And that’s a little glimpse into my world! I hope this gives you a sense of who I am and what inspires my work. I’m always exploring, finding new ideas, and weaving them into my creations. Stay tuned for new artwork releases, and come along for the ride as my whimsical journey continues!
