About
Hello lovely people! I'm Becci, the artist and dreamer behind Findlay & Joan, a little corner of colour and charm.
In 2024, I had to press pause on my career in the fine jewellery industry. It wasn't an easy decision as I had worked in that field for most of my adult life and absolutely lived and breathed it. I was recovering from surgery and wanted something positive to focus on so my husband, Max, encouraged me to start selling my illustrations on Etsy - and I'm so glad he did!
I've been painting and doodling for as long as I can remember, and to now be able to to call this my job is honestly a dream come true, and a reminder that every cloud really does have a silver lining.
I want to make the everyday things around us that we love, whimsical and fun with a touch of joy. I want to bring colour and joy, happiness and sometimes silliness into a world that sometimes feels very serious and a bit overwhelming.
Findlay and Joan was affectionately named after my married surname (Findlay) and my wonderful Grandma on my Dads side (Joan).
Thanks for visiting and supporting my new chapter, I hope my work brings a smile to your day.
