An exhibition of one

Works made
for one wall.

Step into a quiet room where every canvas is commissioned around a single story — palette, scale and subject chosen for the wall it will live on and the person who'll live with it. Hung here the way it would hang at home: with room to breathe.

Curator's note

A painting should belong to a wall the way a memory belongs to a person — made for that one place, and impossible to mistake for anywhere else.

Some pieces begin with a feeling, others with a photograph or a place that matters. Each is built from there — original, signed, never reproduced. No edition exists; the work on your wall is the only one of its kind anywhere.

From blank to finished

A single brushstroke, from nothing.

The collection

Hung, one work at a time.

A short walk through recent canvases — abstract, figurative and luminous. Each carries a plaque, the way a gallery would label it.

Abstract, in red

A field of warm reds worked wet into wet, built up in layers until the surface holds its own light. Hung where afternoon sun can move across it, the colour shifts hour to hour.

Butterfly at sunset

A saturated meeting of wing and sky — figurative subject, painterly ground. Made for a room that wants a single, joyful focal point rather than a quiet one.

After the lights go down

One canvas, two paintings.

A single work in this collection is made to live two lives. In daylight it reads as a quiet, finished canvas; under UV light the hidden layers ignite and the whole piece glows.

Reactive pigment is worked into the composition from the very first pass, so the night version isn't a trick laid on top — it's a second painting hiding inside the first. A favourite for studios, music spaces and anyone who wants a wall that turns on after dark.

Commission a canvas

From first conversation to the wall.

Unhurried, collaborative, and easy to follow — the way a work is acquired before it ever hangs.

  1. I

    The conversation

    We talk through what the piece is really about — the subject, the room, the feeling — and the wall it will hang on. This is where the idea takes shape.

  2. II

    Concept & palette

    Tina settles composition, colour and scale, and shares the direction with you before any paint goes down — so the two of you are aligned from the start.

  3. III

    The painting

    The canvas is built by hand over time, with progress shared along the way and room to adjust while the work is still open.

  4. IV

    Varnish & the wall

    The finished piece is sealed, signed on the back, and carefully prepared for hanging — ready to live with the day it arrives.

Framed & finished

Made to last as long as the wall.

  • Varnished & signed

    Each canvas is varnished to protect the surface and signed on the back — provenance that stays with the work for its lifetime.

  • Ready to hang

    Pieces arrive prepared for the wall. Framing can be discussed if you'd like it; many works are built to hang beautifully unframed.

  • Simple, lasting care

    Keep work out of direct sun and dust gently. Specifics are shared on delivery so the colour holds for years.
