Drawing and painting is a way for me to experience the world and learn about the things I am observing. I love learning about the things I draw and I enjoy the creative challenge that illustrating nature presents me.

​

My particular interest is in drawing foliage, flowers and landscapes. Creating characters to sit in my landscapes to make quirky scenes brings me a lot of joy and I really enjoy watching them all come together.

​

Mixing pencil, inks and collage makes for a lot of messy fun! 

​

I’m never without a sketchbook and pencil and will draw almost anywhere. I take any chance to draw while we're out and my daughter loves to join in too!

​

I have been creating for as long as I can remember; drawing with my Dad when I was really young and creating my own characters with their own stories when I was a little bit older. I took the chance to study art at every opportunity I could through school, going on to study a BA hons in Illustration and Design.

When I'm not in my studio or rambling round the countryside, I love to make baskets from natural fibres, read books and piece together a jigsaw or two!
