Creating near the peaceful hills of the Peak District
The Dog and Ducks Designs
Artwork that awakens the magic of moments shared in nature.
Inspired by nature and the joy of our everyday stories.
“Pretty” and “beautiful” are nice words to use to describe a piece of art, but I much prefer “you captured their personalities perfectly!” or “Sarah’s work comes to life!”.
I still get those heart flutters every time I pull a new piece fresh off the easel.
I’m here to reimagine the everyday moments in artwork that transport you back to that happy place, you know, the one that never fails to make you smile.
Want me to help you reimagine your happy-place moment?
Pieces of My Heart
From heart to easel, explore the stories told in paint, pencil, and a little bit of everyday magic.
Commissions
Before we even get to the materials, I can’t wait to hear your story. We’ll work together to visualise your memory in delicate watercolours, bold acrylics, or imaginative line sketches, drawing inspiration from the charms of nature.
Ever wanted something original in your home, but never quite knew what? I hear you. These are my personal pieces, each a scene from my everyday life, rooted in a relatable happy place. A welcome break from the busyness!
Originals
Prints & Gifts
You want something to create a gallery wall up the stairs, or perhaps you’ve seen one of my prints and thought, ‘Oh, she’ll love that!’. All of my prints are produced to be as close to the original as possible (I’ll never send anything that I’m not happy with ~ pinky promise!)
It’s finally here and there’s more on the way!
Mioritic Collection
If you follow me, there’s no doubt that you’ll have met Dougie and Daisy, my characterful Mioritic Shepherds.
I don’t know why, because they’re flippin’ gorgeous… but I can never find artwork, stationery, or gifts with Mios anywhere?
So, I’m changing that. I have begun releasing my new collection, which is a homage to our loyal, independent, and fiercely protective Mios.
Want first dibs (and maybe a cheeky exclusive)?
Kind words
Every kind word means the world to me. Here are a few that recently made me smile…

Let’s make some magic together!
Looking for something special and one-of-a-kind? I create custom art in all sorts of styles and mediums, tailored just for you.

Every piece is made with your unique style in mind ~ because art should feel personal. Got an idea? Let’s chat and create something beautiful together! -
A little bit playful, a little bit dreamy ~ always full of heart.
I love adding a fun, imaginative twist to everything I create. Whether it's a whimsical watercolour illustration or a bold, textured acrylic abstract, I’m all about colour, character, and telling a story through the details. My work spans a mix of styles and mediums, inspired by the little bits of beauty I see in everyday life. I want each piece to feel joyful, personal, and one-of-a-kind! Every artwork is a mix of creativity, curiosity, and my own quirky perspective, made to connect with all kinds of tastes and spaces. -
Love my art but not ready for a custom piece? Art prints are a great way to go!
I offer high-quality giclée prints of my original artworks - full of the same rich colours and fine details as the originals. They're printed on premium archival paper, so they won’t fade and will look amazing for years to come. Each one is carefully made to stay true to the original, giving you a beautiful (and affordable!) way to bring my art into your home or workspace -
Send a little joy - one card at a time!
My art isn’t just for your walls - now you can share it with the people you love, too! These cards feature prints of my original artwork and are perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, just-because notes, or popping in a frame for a mini art moment. Each one is printed on high-quality cardstock and comes with a matching envelope, ready to brighten someone’s day. -
Looking for something a little special? I’ve got you.
From art prints to greeting cards and everything in between, my creations make lovely, thoughtful gifts for the art lovers in your life (or, let’s be honest - yourself!). Whether it’s a birthday, housewarming, or just a “thinking of you” moment, there’s something here that’s sure to spark joy.
