My Starlings is the home of my retail collections, but at its heart lives Valley Whisper, my nature-rooted art and surface pattern design brand.

Valley Whisper began quietly, as many meaningful things do. It grew from long walks in the countryside, observing changing seasons, watching birds, noticing how light settles differently at dusk, and realizing how deeply we all long for spaces that feel calm, warm, and grounded. 

I create watercolour artworks and pattern collections inspired by the untamed beauty of nature, wildlife, and the gentle rhythm of slow living. Each piece is hand-painted, embracing the soft flow of watercolour, natural textures, and imperfections.

Valley Whisper is built on a simple belief that our homes should be a space where our nervous system can rest, where we can slow down, and where we can truly notice the small, simple wonders around us. Through biophilic design and intentional creation, my work is crafted to invite exactly that sense of calm and presence.

Whether you're choosing a gift, selecting artwork for your home, or a thoughtfully designed greeting card, each item you find at My Starlings carries the heart and soul of Valley Whisper.

Thank you for being here. I'm so grateful you've wandered into this quiet corner.
