Behind the Scenes: Iris Mural Project
Over the summer, I had the absolute pleasure of creating a large-scale world map mural for the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival, and what a lovely project to be part of.
For anyone unfamiliar with Iris, it's an internationally recognised film festival held right here in Cardiff, bringing filmmakers and audiences together from across the world to celebrate LGBTQ+ stories through film.
2026 marks the festival's 20th anniversary, making this year's celebrations even more special.
I was commissioned to create a world map for Iris's new pop-up space in St David's Grand Arcade, Cardiff. The idea was to celebrate the festival's international reach, with the map featuring the names and locations of filmmakers and guests travelling to Cardiff for the festival.
It's been wonderful watching the mural come together over the summer, knowing that it would become part of something connecting so many creative people from around the world.
And as someone with a real love of film, being invited to contribute to an international film festival in my own city felt particularly special.
One of my favourite moments was visiting during the festival and meeting a filmmaker who spotted her own photograph on the map. Suddenly, all those names, faces and places I'd been working with became real people standing right in front of me. Such a lovely moment.
I'm incredibly proud to have been involved in this project and to have played a small part in celebrating 20 years of Iris.
You can find the mural at the Iris Prize pop-up in St David's Grand Arcade, Cardiff, alongside film screenings and other creative displays.

A New Chapter at Kindred
That's something we're really passionate about at Purple Pie. Art doesn't always have to live in a traditional gallery.Sometimes the best way to discover a new favourite artist is when you're simply out enjoying yourself.
Working with independent venues like Kindred allows us to introduce artists to new audiences, bring creativity into everyday spaces and make original artwork feel more accessible.
We're looking forward to seeing this little partnership continue to grow, with new artists and fresh collections appearing on the wall.
Next time you're in Cardiff city centre, pop into Kindred, order yourself something lovely and have a nose at the artwork.
You might just find something you want to take home.
Our curated wall at Kindred Wine Bar in Cardiff city centre is officially up and running, and we're delighted with how it's been received.
Kindred is a lovely independent wine bar in the heart of the city, bringing people together over good wine, conversation and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It's exactly the sort of space we love working with at Purple Pie.
We've brought together a wonderful selection of artists whose work adds colour, character and something a little unexpected to the walls.
And it's already proving popular! We've sold several pieces straight off the wall, with artwork finding new homes and visitors enjoying the chance to discover original art while having a glass of wine.

From Gallery Walls to Forever Homes
One of the best parts of running Purple Pie is seeing artwork leave the gallery and begin a new story.
A huge thank you to everyone who has visited, supported our artists and taken a piece of Purple Pie home.
There’s always something creative happening at Purple Pie
Creativity doesn’t stop when you leave the gallery. At Purple Pie, we love creating opportunities for people to explore their own artistic journey, whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to develop your skills further.
This autumn, we’ll be bringing more creative experiences to the gallery and studio, including beginner-friendly painting workshops and personalised one-to-one tuition.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, build confidence with acrylics, or spend some dedicated time developing your own style, there’s something creative waiting for you.
Keep an eye out for upcoming dates and new workshops coming soon.
Looking for a more personal approach to your creativity? My one-to-one painting sessions offer a relaxed and supportive space where we can focus on your individual style, build confidence and explore your ideas at your own pace.
Working with acrylics on canvas, we can develop your techniques, experiment with colour, composition and brushwork, and help you discover what makes your artwork uniquely yours.
Sessions take place in my home studio, a creative space packed with materials, inspiration and (probably!) more art supplies than I'll ever need! You're welcome to bring your own materials, or make yourself at home and use everything available in the studio.
Whether you're a complete beginner, returning to art after a break, or looking to develop your existing skills, each session is tailored to you and your creative journey.
Lessons are arranged at a time that suits us both, with the option of booking a single session or a series of lessons to support your artistic development. Get in touch to chat about your goals, and together we'll create a plan that works for you.
