Architectural & Cityscape Heritage

Major studies, and iconic Oxford views celebrating local rhythm, stone, and light.

The City Exhales

Original Canvas — 40 × 50 cm | £650

A quieter view of the High Street as it takes a breather after rush hour. Moving away from precise architectural detail, this work focuses on the emotional release of a city at rest—a local's observation of a city that "breathes out".

Between the Rushes

Original Canvas — 40 × 50 cm | Inquire for Availability

Captures the moment the High Street becomes busy once more. While students and shops inevitably come and go, the core tradition of the Oxford colleges remains unchanged—a study of movement and the familiar local rhythm of a city in transition.

Intimacy at Dusk

Sky Arts LAOTY 2026 Submission Piece | Original Sold

Selected for Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2026, this piece was the artist's submission to get into the show. It captures the moment sunlight and moonlight intertwine—a rare, quiet interval when Oxford rests after a busy day, shared no longer with tourists and students.

Bridge of Sighs I

Original Acrylic on Paper — 14.8 × 21 cm | £300

Painting Oxford has become an ongoing project for Alice. Walking past thousands of tourists every day reminded her to look at her surroundings with a fresh pair of eyes.



Pret

Original Acrylic on Canvas — 30 × 40 cm | £600


Cafe Culture & Morning Rituals

Intimate original paper studies, small canvases, and fine art prints capturing everyday warmth, sweet treats, and quiet coffee breaks.

Victoria Sponge, soft light, and quiet market chatter. A treat of the day captured on paper.

Cake Please

Original Acrylic on Paper — 29.7 × 42 cm | £90

For Three

Original Acrylic on Paper — 29.7 × 42 cm | £95

Victoria Sponge, soft light, and quiet market chatter. A treat of the day captured on paper.

Latte Art Daily

Original Acrylic on Canvas — 13 × 18 cm | £40

Looking at your latte art of the day is a bit like fortune telling—the barista just made your day ahead feel a little brighter.

Shared Morning

Original Acrylic on Paper — 10 × 14 cm | £30

Two cups on a table, a quiet catch-up, and the warmth of shared time before the day gets busy.
