NEW Fish just landed
Minimal • Expressive • Timeless

A shoal like no other, made from my continuous line art. Each shape is cut from mild steel, then refined and finished by hand. I’m obsessed with achieving an exacting, architectural feel — clean edges, perfect curves, proportions that feel effortless. To give every sculpture its crisp, modern finish, they’re powder-coated in black or white. The result is smooth and beautifully tactile.

Like everything I make, these works are shaped by the landscape around me — then designed, made and finished here in Devon, rooted in the place that inspires it all ✌️

NEW! Taking Flight ✨ Slender, elegant + poised. There’s a majesty in the sweep of the Heron’s wings as it rises into the air. I made this sculpture to capture the feeling of a mindful breath. It has such a beautiful energy to the design and works so wonderfully in metalwork. In awe that there’s just a handful left after my launch just last week - head to the link in my bio to catch them before they fly ✌️

New. Rare. Beautifully Crafted.

✨Today I’m launching something very special - a whole collection of new sculptures. Each day I’ll reveal a little behind each new design, and this one is close to home.

For years now, I’ve been sketching single-line works inspired by nature’s beauty — one continuous flowing stroke, pared right back to the simplest form, inviting you to pause, gaze & smile, capturing the soul of coastal life in a single gesture. Now those lines have once again become sculptures — metal, minimal, expressive.

✨Meet Seahorse - a symbol of patience, protection, persistence, and calm strength. Seahorses anchor themselves in life’s currents — gentle but resilient, delicate yet powerful.

And they’re not just creatures of distant reefs, they’re native to my local South Devon waters. Though often imagined as tropical, these beautiful animals live quietly, right beneath the surface, reminding us that wonder exists close to home.

This sculpture is hand-formed from a single continuous line of metal and finished in satin black — casting shifting shadows as light moves through the day. An heirloom piece with unmistakable charm.

This is one of five sculptures in the new collection — I’ll be spotlighting each in the coming days. If this one speaks to you, save this post and share the love.

Link in the bio for access to a timeless piece they’ll admire every day.

Big News 🎨 My Colour (Black) Friday collection is now LIVE ✨I’ve just released 30+ large A1 art prints at 50% off for a limited time! Making it even easier to bring colour and joy to your home this Christmas.

But this isn’t just a launch for me — it’s something deeper ❤️ 28th November 2025 is the day millions across the UK begin their Christmas shopping. And while Black Friday explodes, over a million small businesses will be struggling to keep going, quietly in the background.

It’s tough to think about - because behind every small business is a real person, a dream, a life - someone working day and night, hoping their busines resonates with you.

That’s why I stand with ✌️
Without independent makers, our homes, celebrations and gifts would lose their soul — their colour, their meaning, their joy.

So this year, if you can, choose colour.
Choose small. Choose the makers who create with their hands and their hearts.

Thank you, truly. Every order, every message, every share keeps my dreams alive. I feel it all, and I’m endlessly grateful 🙏

🎉 7 Years Strong
— and just getting started

This past year has been one of growth, experimentation and transformation — a time where focusing on art and space has reshaped my work in ways I could only have dreamed.

My wood relief series has become a much loved part of that journey — now 12 designs strong, from minimalist monochromatics to the bold neon pieces that stop people in their tracks. Each one, handmade with precision, with a passion that never fades.

My art has travelled far this year — into hotels, holiday retreats and homes — through full wall murals, custom art prints, and oversized metal sculptures for walls, floors and gardens — creating in this way is my life’s ambition.

Many of you know I’ve also been quietly nurturing my other creative passion - interior design. Working across the South West, I’ve had the privilege of crafting intentional spaces that blend clean modern design with reclaimed beauty. From single rooms to full renovations, every project is guided by the same ethos as my art: where creativity meets purpose.

And so, the next chapter begins. My Dartmouth space is evolving into a gallery + studio — a home for my art, a place to create new works, develop commissions, dive deeper into interiors… and most importantly, welcome you.

You’ll also see changes on the website soon: new and exclusive works, screen prints, murals, sculptures, and yes… furniture is coming (sneak peek if you swipe left!). Plus a whole new area dedicated to interior design projects with behind-the-scenes peeks.

As we turn 7 this weekend, I’m feeling unbelievably grateful. From selling my very first pieces at Dartmouth Regatta under the roar of the Red Arrows, to transforming the old fishmongers into my creative haven, to standing here — on the cusp of something even more exciting.

Thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to 7 years, may it be lucky number 7 ✌️

NEW • CANVAS IN CELEBRATION • This weekend marks a milestone - ten years since I launched my career as an artist at ✍️To celebrate, I’ve releasing a Limited Edition of just 10 NEW, signed + numbered Dartmouth canvases - a tribute to the place where it all began.

This large-scale piece showcases my signature line art, timeless colour palette, and captivating minimalist style. Each canvas is beautifully framed with subtle shadow gaps for a contemporary feel.

Inspired by Scandinavian and Mid-Century design, these works bring clean lines and warmth to any interior. As natural light shifts throughout the day, the texture, sunlight and shadows bring the artwork to life. My work always offers craft and character. Honest British art - modern, minimal and made for those who love timeless design.

No. 1 is in my Dartmouth Gallery today, ready to find its forever home. UK-wide delivery available. Thank you for being part of my journey - whether you’ve followed since the beginning or are new to my work.

- Bert ✌️
