About Me

My love affair with the 1950s and 1960s began back in my teenage years. While others were chasing trends, I was diving headfirst into the music, the style, and the lifestyle of those eras. Fast-forward a few decades, and nothing’s changed—I’m still a self-confessed vintage addict (and happily so!).

In 2015, I opened my Etsy shop to share my passion with others. Ten years, countless treasures, and thousands of happy customers later, I’ve decided it’s time to branch out and take the next step—building my own little corner of the internet dedicated to all things mid-century and retro.

Whether you’re a fellow collector, a nostalgic soul, or just someone who loves a one-of-a-kind find, I’d love for you to take a look around. There truly is something for everyone—and if you don’t see what you’re after, just ask. Chances are, it’s tucked away in my stash or waiting patiently on my ever-growing “to-do list.”

Art is Like Marmite

If you're in the market for some art that's as unique and quirky as you are, look no further than ArtislikeMarmite. My mixed media, mono prints, collographs, and linocuts will hopefully add a touch of weird but wonderful to your space.

From the punk rock "Knickers" series to nautical, and nature-inspired prints, I'm hoping there's something for all tastes. Go ahead, treat yourself to a piece (or two, or three) - you'll either love it or hate it...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: As of 01 February 2026, I have made the decision to sell my art somewhere other than Etsy and have closed the 'shop'. Please bear with me while I research different platforms. In the meantime some of my art can be viewed on Facebook. Thank you for your patience🙏
