Arrived

Arrived was inspired by a photograph shared by a friend. Like many of us, I was scrolling through holiday photos when one image stopped me in my tracks. Alongside it was a reflection on returning to the same favourite destination year after year.

The sentiment resonated deeply with me. There is something special about revisiting a place filled with treasured memories, that familiar first glimpse that instantly washes away the journey and tells you, “we're back.”

I was drawn to capture that exact moment of arrival. The view itself is beautiful, but it was the emotion behind it that inspired this painting: the anticipation, the sense of belonging, and the joy of returning to a place that feels like home. Arrived celebrates that unmistakable feeling when you finally catch sight of “the spot” and know you have arrived.
