Creating wall art for commercial spaces can be tricky, but challenging walls and unusual spaces have always been my favourite kind of brief! Every space is unique, which is why flexibility and adaptability have always been central to my practice. I aim to design modular artwork that brings elegance and atmosphere to any interior, however demanding the project.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with interior designers, art consultants, and private clients on projects spanning hospitality, commercial, and residential spaces. Each piece is crafted in porcelain and can be tailored precisely to its setting — whether that means complementing an existing colour scheme, reinforcing a brand identity, or simply adding character and depth to a room.
Here are a few of the commercial and hospitality projects I've had the pleasure of working on:
Bespoke Flora for the spa at Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel in Anguilla.
To me, going to a spa is all about rejuvenation and wellness. Taking time to relax, heal and to reconnect with your body and mind are all great forms of self care. Visitors are looking to escape, detox, appreciate their surroundings and be present in the blissful moments a spa can create.
The interiors of a spa should really encourage that restful mindset, as they set the tone by making people feel comfortable and relaxed and soon as they enter the building. Art is a great tool for spa design and decoration, as it helps to create a calm atmosphere whilst providing a sense of luxury.
When collaborating with the interior designers for Cap Juluca, I took all of this into consideration, along with their design brief and decided that earthy tones would be the best approach and we couldn't be more thrilled with how the art installation turned out.
The neutral tones soften the feel of the piece, and the repeated shapes create a mindful and gentle flow to lead you through the space. The sandy tones and matt finish create a softness that is reminiscent of the soft beach focus of the resort, whilst having a quiet nostalgic simplicity in the thread of the stitch.
The layout of this piece leads the visitor through the spa space, subtly signposting where they should go next.
The Ritz Carlton Hotel, St Louis, USA
The set pictured above is made up of over 200 hand crafted porcelain flowers and petals, and are arranged in an organic flowing, swirling composition that spreads across 7 panels behind a reception desk at the Ritz Carlton, St Louis.
After initial discussions regarding our classic Garland flower, the art consultant requested that we change the style slightly and add in extra detail to the centre of each flower. We worked closely with the team to further develop the pieces, which resulted in a handcrafted, textured detail that was added to the centre of each flower. This, like most new things here in the studio, had an element of trial and error as we needed to see how adding a ceramic "button" in the centre would affect the overall firing of the pieces. In the initial stage there were a few that cracked, but I adapted the technique so that the rest of the crafting process went smoothly.
Before creating the sculptures, we produced a 2D digital scale drawing showing the designers how the layout would look. From there we made a various tweaks and revisions, collaborating with their art consultant, until the composition was perfect, and then we had that scaled up to life size to make installation straightforward when it arrived in the US.
Myconian Collection, Sunrise Hotel, Mykonos, Greece
For this project, the priority was helping the designer establish a strong sense of place — artwork that felt genuinely rooted in its Greek resort setting. The palette draws on the blues and whites synonymous with the Greek islands and national identity, but handled through the language of sculptural, modular art, the reference feels considered rather than literal.
The lighting from this angle creates shadows that add another dimension to the pieces - each has a subtle, almost human form, and their arrangement in a group makes them feel like a little community. This feels appropriate in a busy communal space used by multiple groups of people at once.
The Gilbert - Luxury offices, London, UK
Titled “Floating on the breeze,” the artwork comprises over 200 porcelain ceramic oak leaves, positioned on a feature wall in a luxury shared office space at The Gilbert, London.
Wall art in a commercial setting carries real weight — it sets a tone, communicates values, and shapes how people feel in a space. When this London workspace approached me, the brief felt like a natural fit. Their commitment to wellbeing echoed something central to my own practice: the idea that interiors should feel connected to the natural world. In this instance, we referenced the oak trees in the square outside of the building to root the artwork in place, and created a sense that the leaves were blowing in through the window.
Often, once we have created an artwork, we ship it to the client and they carry out the install. But in this case, as the interior designers were based in the US and dealing with their client in London, I arranged for a trusted fitter to transport the pieces from the studio and carry out the installation on site.
Le Café by Nicolas Rouzaud, Burlington Arcade, London, UK
For this project, we worked closely with the interior design firm to develop a layout and palette based on their specified finishes. The colours — soft, bright, and full of sweetness — felt immediately right for a patisserie, calling to mind icing, glaze, frosting, and fresh berries. We used the designer's chosen RAL colour references throughout to ensure every tone landed perfectly.
The Blossom petal wall art sculptures bring texture and interest to the walls while staying true to the client's brand. At the designers' request, the finish was taken to as high a gloss as possible — a detail that adds a sense of luxury while echoing the beautiful sheen of a perfectly iced pastry.
Grantley Hall Hotel, Ripon, UK
Luxury hotel Grantley Hall commissioned the artwork above for a curved staircase connecting spaces with differing uses. At the top of the space is the fabulous Grantley Suite, often used for weddings and functions, leading down to the Valeria’s night club below, and behind the camera is a pan Asian restaurant, so the space connects quite a diverse range of places. Each space needed the artwork to lead you to the next in an appropriate manner. Named “The flutter of a thousand wings” the ceramic artwork flows down the curved staircase and creates a sense of theatre and movement, leading you through the space and inviting you to explore it. The modular nature of this work makes it perfect for curved walls such as this, where traditional, rectangular paintings and prints can feel clumsy.
