INK & THISTLE

Original watercolour art with a wee bit of wildness.
Original paintings • Small collections • Made in Scotland.

What we create

Handcrafted in Fife, every piece balances delicate ink work with flowing watercolour pigment. 

Wild botanical studies

Detailed ink outlines intertwined with earthy watercolour washes, inspired by hardy Scottish thistles, heather, and woodland flora.

Highland landscapes

Moody skies, quiet glens, and windswept shores rendered on heavy textured watercolour paper with authentic character.

Small original collections

Released in limited seasonal drops, each artwork is one of a kind, signed by hand and accompanied by provenance details.

Bespoke commissions

Custom watercolour pieces created for special milestones, Scottish memories, or bespoke botanical compositions upon enquiry.

"The thistle piece brings so much quiet Scottish soul into our home. The depth of the watercolour paper and rich ink details are breathtaking in person."

Collector in Edinburgh

A wee bit of wildness for your walls

Rooted in Fife and inspired by the windswept Scottish wilderness. Each piece is an exploration of raw nature, delicate wet-on-wet pigments, and deep Indian ink. Connect with us on social media to follow our latest work in progress.
