Libby ''My passions have always been art, nature & design, becoming an Artist was simply always what I wanted to do and I have been chasing that dream ever since!
The synergy between oil painting and fine line tattooing enables me to progress and maintain balance in my work. The meticulous nature of tattooing with fine needles provides continuous practice in refinement and details, while the expansiveness of oil painting keeps my style large and loose.
The cross-pollination of these disciplines allows me to apply the layering process of traditional oil painting techniques to my tattooing, creating a unique blend of artistry that defines Ephemeral Studio”
In the realm of oil painting, I’ve found my niche in a modern/traditional fusion, with a preference for painting horses and hounds. In contrast, my tattoos favour a ‘fine art, fine line’ black and grey style, specialising in tiny tattoos and major projects.

Artist Quote
I find myself continually drawn to visual representations showing the act of individuation, in essence, the pursuit of excellence and wholeness. I believe it my role here to explore the contours of the archetypes and ‘slay the dragon’, in doing so I feel my work brings me closer to the centre of it all, my soul sings when I’m on the right tracks and I watch closely for the synchronicities that show me what to create next. In this way my inspirational rivers never run dry, I’m truly honoured by all the kind people who purchase my artwork and choose my teaching options, i love getting to know you all in such a special way. Thank you all for all your support”
