About Daisy

Hello, I'm Daisy!

I'm a British fine artist and the founder of BLOOM Creative Workshops. I've been oil painting since the age of 12, with my subject matter evolving as my curiosities do.

For the past four years, I lived in New Zealand and Australia, traveling, completing a variety of oil painting commissions, and working as a Personalisation Artist for Louis Vuitton. Now back in the U.K., I’ve begun focusing on my own nature-inspired oil works and launched BLOOM Creative Workshops to share my skills and evoke joy through creativity.

I look forward to seeing you at one of my workshops!
