Scarlett
Delicate, layered, and full of rhythm. Scarlett's piece utilizes textile-inspired overlays to highlight the softness of early childhood, turning simple marks into a complex dance of colour and memory.
LEGACY COLLAGESYour child's story,
Your child's story,
told through their art
A bespoke legacy collage is more than your child's framed painting on a wall - it is your young family members' mark making and story telling through art. I take your child's drawings, paintings and doodles, and weave them into a one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork to enjoy in your home.

“I believe that art should do more than just sit on a wall; it should hold a conversation with your history.”
My journey into the world of painting and mixed media began with a deep fascination for the tactile. With a BA from the University for the Creative Arts and a Master's in Textiles from the Royal College of Art in the UK, my DNA is woven with a love for texture, colour combinations, and the intricate ways different materials interact. My previous career was spent navigating the fast moving world of design and textile production, but it was becoming a mother to two young children that truly sharpened my perspective on what “precious” really means.
In a world that feels increasingly digital and fleeting, I find myself drawn to the physical anchors of our lives. My legacy collage work is a commentary on the beautiful chaos of the modern world - finding rhythm in the noise and permanence in the temporary. As an artist and a mother, I don't just see a drawing or a scrap of fabric; I see a milestone. I use my expertise in textile composition to elevate these fragments into sophisticated, gallery-grade masterpieces.
I'm not just an artist; I'm a curator of your family's most vibrant memories.
“Turning Today's Memories into Tomorrow's Masterpieces”
As parents, we are the keepers of “the pile.” The stacks of finger paintings, the first attempts at writing a name, the bits of ribbon from a favourite dress, and the doodles that capture a specific Tuesday in June. We can't keep it all, but we can't bear to throw it away.
Inspired by the fragile beauty of a child's mark making, I created the Legacy Collage.
