Hi, I’m Chloé and I’m an artist with a graphic design background. I work with ink and watercolour, and each piece I make is handmade and unique.
I’m tapping into the playfulness and magic of life, illuminating the everyday experiences and emotions we all share, infusing them with humour and a sense of lightness.
My work revolves around wordplay, visual puns, and the exploration of ideas, all while playing with the ordinary to uncover the hidden gems. In a world often overshadowed by darkness, I believe that injecting some lightheartedness and fun can truly make a difference in people's lives.
Proudly independent

Creativity has always been in my soul. Before stepping into sharing my art in its current expression, I channeled this love as a graphic designer for 15 years. This included in-house roles for Urban Outfitters, freelancing for an eclectic mix of clients and locations including being an art director in Singapore.
Throughout this time I was always channeling my passion into side projects.
This led to a varied portfolio of projects, that included everything from funny greeting cards to a unique coffee table made solely from coffee table books, and a photo collection of found hearts entitled "I see hearts everywhere."
Just before lockdown I felt the nudge within pushing me to share my work more broadly instead of keeping it as a side hobby. With life changes like sudden lockdown homeschooling, and moving to the sea from busy London, I gained a fresh perspective. Inspired by daily life, my art has evolved into discovering a love for turning spontaneous moments into art. The constant calls of “Mum Mum Mum” and “Pick Up Drop Off" emerged from the routine chaos.
What started as frustration turned into a creative outlet, making the ordinary extraordinary. Through this process, my eyes have been opened to see art in everyday life, turning fleeting moments into enduring art with their own stories. As life unfolds, I'm fuelled at how this is evolving, capturing these moments and crafting art that tells stories feels limitless.
