Ethically motivated artist based in Manchester, UK
Cruelty-Free Vegan art materials used exclusively I am a UK based mixed media ethical artist.

Within my art practice I make a conscious effort to be as ethical as I can with particular emphasis on environmentally friendly practices and being 100% animal cruelty free . I still have much to learn about how to reduce my environmental impact so am always open to learn ways to improve, but I only use cruelty free, Vegan art materials in my work.

HOPE FOR OUR FRACTURED EARTH

The background of this piece represents our planet which even in its currently broken state still remains a beautiful spectacle, and the tree image representing the tree of life working away hard to restore the broken pieces which remain. Never giving up even in times of struggle, remaining steadfast by maintaining strong sturdy roots with a deep sense of connection to the earth.

Originally designed for an online art competition by Wraptious, through which every design entry was available to buy as a cushion for the duration of the competition. Now that the competition has concluded, this one-off original piece is now available to purchase exclusively from my Etsy store (link in bio).

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me in the Wraptious competition over the last few days or so by liking and/or sharing the below post.

Today is the last day to vote, and I honestly don't think I'm in with a chance of winning this time around as the competition is so high, but it's been a really great experience to be involved. They run these competitions every year and I have thought about entering it previously but the timing just wasn't right. I would however definitely enter again and I would recommend it to any other fellow aspiring/emerging artist out there.

Introducing our latest entry from Angela Hesketh Art! 🎨

For a limited time, you can own this cozy double-sided, super-soft velvety cushion. With each purchase, you'll not only own a unique piece of art but also help the artist earn 100 points (plus commission) - and plant a tree!

Competition Time!

Happy weekend everyone! 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve reached a significant milestone of 500 followers here on good old Instagram. I know that may not seem like much compared to those big accounts with thousands of followers, but for me, that’s kind of a big deal.

As a thank you for those of you that have supported me this far, whether you’re a fellow artist, a small creative business, a friend from real life, or simply someone who likes what I do and enjoys following along, I’ve decided to run a special competition just for you.

The lucky winner will receive a mini original artwork on Legion Stonehenge paper.

Once I have selected a winner, I’ll be in touch to discuss your favourite pieces from my recent works. Those pieces won’t be available in the competition, but I’ll be happy to create something similar based on your preferences.

You’ll get to choose the paper colour from white, black, brown or one of the neutral colours from the ‘colors’ range. Then you can choose between a simple black and white design, mostly black and white with just a small pop of colour or something vibrant and full of colour.

To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is the follow these three steps:
Like this post ❤️
Leave me a little comment below so I know you are taking part ✍️
Share this post on your instagram stories 📲

The competition will run until Friday 26th May, 6pm UK time, so make sure to enter before then. I will draw a winner over the weekend and reach out to the lucky winner by DM to discuss the next steps.

Thats it! Good luck everyone! 🍀

Postage disclaimer:

Free postage within the UK only! 🇬🇧

To any winner outside of the UK, I’ll provide a ‘no commitment’ postage quote. Once agreed, I shall create a custom listing on Etsy for safe and secure payment. However, if no agreement is reached, don’t worry… I’ll shall simply just draw another winner.

I feel the image on the page also kind of represents that feeling of freedom and free flowing in the wind, but maybe that’s just me.

Bloom Again - from the ‘Sunflowers for Ukraine’ mini-collection


Original watercolour painting

Daniel Smith Watercolour on Stonehenge Aqua Hotpress paper - 5” x 3.76”



I’ve created a three part limited series of miniature abstract sunflowers inspired by events in Ukraine this year.


This third and final piece in this mini-series represents to me the rebirth of the future, where now lies destruction will once more bloom again fresh life, hope and joy. My hope for this painting is that it brings the viewer a sense of hope and joy even in the darkest of days.

Not only are sunflowers hugely significant to this country being their national flower, but they are also one of the most cheerful, optimistic looking flowers.

My hope for this collection is that these little pieces help lift the viewer up, giving a sense of optimism even in dark times.

Sunburst - from the ‘Sunflowers for Ukraine’ mini-collection


Original watercolour painting

Daniel Smith Watercolour on Stonehenge Aqua Hotpress paper - 5” x 3.76”



I’ve been working on a limited series of miniature abstract sunflowers inspired by current events in Ukraine.

This particular piece for me initially represents the destruction of war, things and lives even being blown apart, uprooted and displaced. But then also a hope for a better tomorrow when the scattered seeds can eventually germinate to bring about new life, new hopes, dreams and beauty. Rising from the ashes like a phoenix.

Not only are sunflowers hugely significant to this country being their national flower, but they are also one of the most cheerful, optimistic looking flowers.

My hope for this collection is that these little pieces help lift the viewer up, giving a sense of optimism even in dark times.

Name and price TBC but thinking of getting this little beauty up on my Etsy store next week.

This was originally an experimental piece in my sketchbook but there’s just something about it that speaks to me in terms of the kind of art I want to make in the future and the kind of art I want to be known for.

So if you’d like a piece of my art that represents a key part of my artistic journey, or even if this one just speaks to you, keep an eye on my socials and/or Etsy shop over the coming days for more details. Also please feel free to reach out if you’d like to be first to know when the listing goes live 🙂
