A photo and a rough wall size are plenty. I'll reply with an indicative cost and a simple visual on your wall.

Trusted by NHS trusts, hospitals, charities and other major organisations

For over 25 years, I have illustrated stories for Penguin, Macmillan, Walker Books, and the BBC. Today, I bring that narrative expertise into healthcare.

I don't just paint walls; I create "positive distraction"—highly detailed worlds designed to reduce patient anxiety and provide comfort in clinical settings. Whether through bespoke hand-painted murals, wall vinyls or ceiling-mounted LED panels, my work helps you transform sterile spaces into environments that heal.

“The surgeries have come to life with the artwork. The children love them, a great distraction from why they are there. Every piece has so much thought and imagination.”

Christine Bennett - Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, Sheffield

"The Murals have brightened the space, creating a more welcoming and comforting environment. They've been a hit with both children and parents, helping to ease anxiety and bring a sense of calm during what can be a stressful time.”

Karen Timms - Paediatric ER, Kingston upon Thames Hospital
