Animated Originals

Paintings that shift, breathe, and live in motion.
Each one crafted as a breathing portal: perfect for collectors, sacred spaces & immersive environments.

In my practice,
the Painting
is only the Beginning…

Each Animated Original begins as a hand-painted ink work created in my studio.

From there, the piece becomes a cinematic motion world:
dissolving, expanding, and re-forming through light and movement.

These artworks are meant to be felt:
Atmospheric, meditative and quietly transformative.

Using a blend of editorial instinct (honed across years in children’s animation),
painterly motion design, and sensory storytelling, I translate the original artwork into a moving environment.

  • Colours slip into one another.

  • Texture deepens.

  • Light takes on intention.

The result is a living artwork: a loop, a projection, a digital ether, tailored to evoke a mood, an inner space, or a moment of clarity.

Featured Case Study: The Artist Tree ✨

For The Artist Tree, I created a bespoke alcohol-ink painting and transformed it into a hypnotic looping header for their 2025 website relaunch.

This project captures the heart of my process:

painting → emotion → motion → atmosphere.

Selected Animated Originals

Hwyl (2025)

Storm, sunlight, surrender.

On a wild Welsh coast, six-foot waves crashed hard into the shore:
chaotic, untamed, alive.
And then, suddenly, the sun tore through the storm.

Hwyl holds that threshold moment: the wildness and the release…
The ache of farewell and the quiet propulsion toward something new.

In Welsh, hwyl means both goodbye and the wind filling a ship’s sails.
This animated original carries both meanings: a storm breaking open into light…
A heart catching a different current.

Courage, colour, becoming.

The Radiant Glow collection is an explosion of energy and transformation — a celebration of boldness, vitality, and the luminous act of standing unapologetically in your light.

A collection that invites you to claim your radiance and step into your power.

Find Your Glow: Mystic (2025)

The Mystic Glow collection captures the essence of the unseen - the shadowy depths of the mind and the magnetic pull of mysteries left unsolved.

In these black-and-white animated originals, light and darkness intertwine, flickering across hidden landscapes where intuition speaks louder than reason.

Each piece invites you into a world of chiaroscuro, where fragments of untold stories emerge in the glow: fleeting, enigmatic, transformative.

Find Your Glow: Cosmic (2025)

Nebulae, infinity, becoming.

The Cosmic Glow collection captures the awe-inspiring vastness of the universe, where nebulae bloom in iridescent hues and galaxies drift endlessly into the unknown.

Each animated original is a portal to the cosmos, inviting you to wander through the mysteries of existence with starry-eyed wonder.

Featuring authentic celestial photography from the Hubble Telescope, these works weave reality with abstraction, grounding the infinite in shimmering light and colour.

Find Your Glow: Ethereal (2025)

Dawn, stillness, surrender.

The Ethereal Glow collection captures the delicate beauty of beginnings - soft whispers of mist, tranquil skies, and the quiet promise of a new day.
