Welcome… to my eclectic and colourful world

I’ve never been one to ‘niche down’ and specialise.

A lifetime of jumping from one hobby to the next is now happily coalescing into a portfolio of making which is vibrant, rich, and versatile.

I am proudly neurodiverse, and am now able to enjoy full-time creativity, having made the leap from a conventional day job in 2023. Yay!

I don’t do fit-it-into-boxes very well - so here you will find offerings that are unapologetically themselves… print, digital, painting, collage, multimedia layerings and experimental book binding and art journalling.

I hope you find an original piece you love. If you do - give it a home with appreciation. Many pieces are also available as greetings cards or digital downloads - so there’s something for all here.

Above all, I hope you enjoy your stay here. Feel free to browse, be inspired, start a conversation or treat yourself!

News!

Logo for Plannerfest with colourful icons of a notebook, paper, ink bottle, and bookmarks, featuring text for Stationery Fest, Journal Fest, and Plannerfest.

After a nail-biting few weeks’ wait, I can announce that my application to stand at StationeryFest 2025 was successful!

I have a table at Friday’s Discovery Day (25 July) which is dedicated to showcasing new businesses. I’ve painted a banner specially to go behind the stall and I’m now excitedly planning all of the new goodies to make to have on it!

It’s going to have a quirky, woodland theme, and there will be hand bound books, junk journal kits and all sorts of other paper-based items, bringing together digital with painting, printing and binding. It should be fun!

On the Saturday Rainbow Makery will be joining forces with Scribology - our leather notebook brand, so we will have a mix of wonderful stuff for the throngs of stationery lovers.

Colourful custom painted leather banner featuring a rainbow, a luna moth, a dragonfly, a cat with green eyes, a fox, and mushrooms surrounding the text "Rainbow Makery Design."

Where: The Edge, Wigan

When: Friday, 25 July 2025 - discovery event

Saturday, 26 July 2025 - main event

Tickets from £2 for Friday and £5 upwards on Saturday available here
