MURALS
See my work and hear what people have to say.
Gemma Pagan - Cumbria Wildlife Trust
"Florence did an amazing job on our seed bank. We worked together to develop a design and the work itself is just what we pictured. So many people stop to admire it and the level of detail is better than we could have expected. We would absolutely work with Florence again it was a pleasure"
Seed Bank
This mural was painted in the spring of 2023. The plants were voted on by the volunteer members of Cumbria Wildlife Trust to highlight local biodiversity.
Painted with emulsion and acrylics.
Carlisle Street Art Festival
It all began with this wall. I was invited in the summer of 2022 by Blank Wall Assassins to create a piece of my choosing. I decided on bringing attention to local fauna, the Otter.
The wall was quite the hit with kids!
It was painted with acrylics.
Cummersdale Primary School
This project had an open brief, however the children of the school voted on this design amongst a few other options. It was painted during the winter of 2022/23.
Painted with aerosols and acrylics.
Laura Goad - Director at Cumbria Development Education Centre
“Florence was commissioned to develop ideas for a mural with some young
people who were in living in supported accommodation. From her 1st meeting
with them, she really connected with their stories and their lives. This was
key to co-creating a mural that the young people felt ownership of. As an
organisation, CDEC loved working with Florence- we knew this strand of the
project was in safe, professional and wonderfully creative and generative
hands. We look forward to working with her again!”
Eden Rural Foyer
This wall was a collaborative project, the concept was created from conversations with teens in their care at the time in summer of 2022.
Bottom right image is the reference artwork, for comparison.
Painted with a mix of aerosols and acrylics.
Emilie Rousselle - Le Point Clef
“An exceptional work of art in my tunnel!
Florence has transformed the entrance to my nursery with her talent. Her trees and fruit, painted only with white paint and primary colors, breathe life. Her artistic talent and professionalism made for a most satisfying collaboration. My tunnel is now a true work of art, admired by all.
Thank you so much for this remarkable transformation!”

Le Point Clef - Pépinière d’arbres Fruitiers
I was hired the summer of 2023 to create this tunnel through to a fruit tree nursery.
Painted with emulsion.
Whitehaven Pride
As part of the city’s first pride, I was invited to paint live at the event.
This board was painted with emulsion.
