About the Studio
Childhood marks, grown-up blooms
Blooms and Scribbles creates original acrylic paintings on canvas that celebrate large floral still lifes- generous pots overflowing with flowers- while giving children's drawings a permanent and cherished place within the artwork.
Each piece is a collaboration between skilled painting and the spontaneous, heartfelt marks of a child. The drawings are carefully selected, cut out, and thoughtfully collaged so they become part of the composition.
“Here your children's drawings find a permanent, beautiful home among painted flowers.”
Incorporating Children’s Drawings into Acrylic Paintings
Every painting is created according to each client’s specific wishes
I carefully integrate original children’s drawings into my acrylic paintings according to each client’s specific wishes.
The process begins with the child’s artwork, which I gently cut out by hand, preserving every detail of their lines, shapes, and marks. These elements are then thoughtfully positioned and adhered within the composition so they sit naturally alongside the painted layers.
Acrylic paint is applied around and over the drawings in a way that softens edges, builds colour, and creates depth, while still honouring the original child-made marks.
The final result is a cohesive mixed-media painting that blends the energy of the child’s drawing with the structure and atmosphere of the acrylic work.

Alive in Bloom
Keep every scribble, forever with you
Keep every scribble
, every crooked line,
the shaky houses, and the suns that shine,
with too many rays, the stick-figure friends,
who never needed perfect ends.
Through acrylic paint, and patient hand,
I give them new soil, where they can stand.
On pots that hold, soft blooming flowers,
those childhood marks, regain their powers.
A forest drawn, with one green streak,
now climbs the curve, of ceramic cheek.
A sky once sketched, by a small free hand,
opens again, where petals expand.
Don’t let them vanish, don’t throw them away.
In every bloom, they gently stay—
growing older, with the child each day,
yet still the wonder, will not fray.
Parents’ quiet memories, children’s bright starts,
live forever, now in these painted hearts.
So the scribbles keep breathing, soft and true,
alive in the flowers,
forever with you
.
