When Art Meets Architecture: My Painting in a London Home Featured on Designboom

I’m still buzzing with quiet delight — one of my commissioned paintings was included in a Designboom feature about a recent architectural transformation in London. The project, by Forrester Architects, set out to upgrade a traditional townhouse (Springdale) with eco-sensitive interventions and modern systems — solar panels, improved insulation, and a thoughtful renovation that respects the original character of the building.

What makes this particularly meaningful for me is that the homeowner is already someone who collects my work. During the remodel, they made design and colour decisions inspired by my paintings. So, when I saw the space and saw that my artwork “belonged” there — not just as decoration, but as part of the home's visual language — it felt like a full-circle moment.

In the Designboom story, the house is praised for its sensitive blend of tradition and sustainability: Forrester Architects layered in upgrades to the thermal performance, added solar arrays to the rear dormer, and took care to maintain the home’s original charm. My piece is one thread among many in that tapestry — it affirms that art and architecture can co-create a home’s identity, not just exist side by side.

I’ll always believe that environment influences art, and art influences environment. This little feature feels like a small but beautiful validation of that idea — that painting can guide colour choices, inspire spatial decisions, and find its natural place in a home.

Thank you to the homeowners, the architects, and to Designboom for including my work. I’m looking forward to more moments where architecture and painting converse in real space.
