They say travel opens your eyes, so it's no surprise that Sian Storey's paintings and murals are turning heads. Don't expect city scenes or seascapes - Sian spends her travels absorbing the flora, colour and patterns of foreign places, like the pink blossom of a Japanese park, or the cool blue tiles of a Moroccan riad. 

The beauty of nature is a common theme in Sian’s paintings, yet paradoxically it's her passion for urban art that ensures her work is so vibrant and textured - look for the splashes of spray paint dripping over her delicate brushwork. 

Back in her studio in leafy Hampshire, England, Sian loves painting birds and wildlife, but also creates beautiful figurative paintings of women, which are infused with emotion - powerful, yet fragile. Sian has worked with some big brands, including Ibis Hotels, Dominos Pizza, and Historic Royal Palaces, and her art has featured in national media including BBC, The Times, The Independent, Metro, Guardian and Time Out. So there’s never been a better time to invest in this acclaimed artist.

About the artist

Who am I?

I’m Sian Storey. Painting is my passion.  I'm based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, well connected to London and the south of England.  

I create paintings and murals inspired by nature, travel and beauty, and have worked with the acclaimed Upfest in Bristol to create large scale street art.

My work has been featured in The Times and the Independent on Sunday newspaper, The Metro newspaper, as well as the BBC website, the Telegraph website, and the Time Out London blog.   

What do I do?

I’m a versatile, mutliskilled artist, who specialises in painting.

My background

Back In 2005 I proudly graduated with a First Class BA Hons degree in Fine Art.  Since then I've exhibited my work locally and all over the globe - hanging on walls in New York City, Berlin, Bilbao, Bahrain, Melbourne and Canada.
