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.

LED Murals
