Unframed and Original Paintings that are already framed are typically shipped out within 7 working days (sometimes I will have to order a specialist box appropriate for the painting size).
...But not all of my original paintings come pre-framed. For unframed originals, I'm happy to offer custom framing — simply choose your preferred frame colour and I'll have a bespoke frame made specifically for your painting.
Please note that custom framing does take a little longer, as the frame needs to be ordered, delivered and then carefully fitted by hand. Please allow an additional 7–14 days for custom framed orders.
If you'd like to discuss custom framing for a piece you're interested in, please get in touch and I'll be happy to help.

'Echoes in Still Water' - Calm Abstract Art Original Oil Painting - 'Echoes in Still Water' is calm abstract art created for anyone who craves stillness and space — the one who walks through the door at the end of a long day longing to just exhale. This is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting on canvas, made for homes that feel like a genuine place of rest. If you're building a space that soothes rather than stimulates, this painting was made with you in mind.
I painted this after a calm evening walk along the Dorset coast when I came across a stretch of tide pools sitting perfectly still in the last of the light. The way they seemed to hold both depth and silence at once stopped me completely. Back in the studio I wanted to capture that feeling — not the literal scene, but the emotion of it. That sacred moment when everything settles and you can finally breathe.
Soft blues, muted greys and creamy whites drift together like ripples meeting on the surface of still water. There's gentle movement in it, but the kind that soothes rather than stirs. This is calm abstract art in the truest sense — not cold or minimal, but warm, living, and quietly beautiful. It arrives ready to hang in a beautiful white frame, a piece of genuine calm waiting for its forever home.
The painting is 50x50cm in size and measures 53x53cm in the white frame.
Let customers speak for us
The painting was bought online, and did not disappoint. It's stunning and the gold details bring some subtle yet impactful sea sparkle to the seascape. By arrangement, next day delivery was helpfully accommodated to meet a deadline for a special occasion. It arrived carefully packed to ensure it arrived in pristine condition and the service felt very personal. More than satisfied with this purchase. Thank you.
My beautiful print arrived well packaged in perfect condition. Kate was a delight to deal with and very helpful. Great communication from initial enquiry to despatch/ delivery info. My experience could not have been better. Very happy to highly recommend.
Kate was amazing to work with! I received the first draft of a personalized print on the same day I placed the order and the final print the very next day … so professional and efficient!
Thank you so much Kate!
Absolutely stunning, my friend is now wanting to purchase 🥰 thank you so much
Kate is great! I purchased a print from her and wanted personalization with only 2 days to get the print for my daughter's ordination of Deacon at her church. It was a last minute request and she got me a draft right away for approval and I had everything I needed within 24 hours! AND we're in different countries, I think? It turned out beautiful in the frame and I'm so excited to give it to my daughter! Thanks Kate!!
