Hello! I’m Amabel, an artist and author from Greenwich, London, and I’m passionate about creating artwork that resonates with people on a personal level. My work is inspired by the beauty of nature and the charm of urban life—bringing together vibrant colour palettes, intricate details, and a sense of storytelling that makes every piece feel alive. When you purchase one of my creations, you’re not just buying a product—you’re bringing a little piece of my artistic journey into your home. Whether it’s a signed print, a notebook, or a greeting card, each item is crafted with care and thought, designed to spark joy and connection.
I constantly evolve my designs, inspired by new commissions, exhibitions, and the ongoing process of artistic exploration. This dynamic approach means my products are regularly refreshed with new work, offering customers the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind items that reflect my most current creative journey.
My original artwork is available in my shop, on Etsy and wholesale. My portfolio includes all my recent painting commissions and exhibition work.

In 2025, I am creating a series of art paintings that captures Greenwich and other urban spaces through the seasons. Each piece features a distinct seasonal tree—cherry blossoms, golden maples, bare branches, lush summer oaks. Vibrant yet grounded colours evoke life and time's passage. The city quietly breathes around the greenery, a harmonious blend of nature and place.

My Seasonal Trees collection is a vibrant, evolving body of work inspired by the natural rhythms of the year and the colours of urban life. From the soft spring greens of Greenwich Park to the golden autumn canopies of Vancouver’s Stanley Park, my paintings reflect the shifting light, colour, and mood each season brings.
I’m fascinated by the way trees shape our cities—lining streets, brightening concrete corners, or mirroring skylines in water. Using rich oils and expressive brushstrokes, I capture everything from crisp winter skies to the lush glow of summer evenings.
This collection is deeply rooted in place and personal experience—drawing from the streets, parks, and skies of both London and Vancouver. These cities, each with their own rhythm and beauty, continue to inspire my creative journey.
