About Offley Green

Ever since I uprooted myself from my quaint little life in England and became a Californian, I discovered the need for expressing my former life through the art on my walls. Us humans often define ourselves, and sometimes choose to express ourselves by the places we’ve called home - even if it was for just one wild and crazy summer. Fresh off the boat, I set about collecting images of my life story. A watercolor painting of Offley Green Farmhouse (my childhood home); A black and white photograph of the old stone church in the village where I grew up; A print of the river Thames in London to mark my time living on a houseboat in my 20’s; And my favorite, a large canvas of buddhist prayer flags blowing in the wind to relive my time in Nepal as a volunteer teacher. And as I fell in love with my new home in Southern California - I picked up my camera and started to capture the scenes and vibes I knew would be important for me to have if I ever moved my growing family away from the Golden State. We haven’t moved yet (obviously) - and these new images now adorn our walls anyway - kind of like a shrine to our current hood. So now I’m obsessed with capturing the soul of California so fellow dreamers can find the perfect image to evoke that summer once spent - the glorious 5 years in West Hollywood, or that happy childhood in Santa Monica.Read their story
