Hello,

I am an artist, illustrator and pine-cone collector based in Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex. My biggest inspiration for my work comes from animals and the natural world, but I find it impossible to illustrate just a simple animal. I love to create anthropomorphic characters by adding face paint, clothes and accessories to build a story around them.

My medium of choice is gouache to celebrate the bold and vibrant colours of the animal kingdom. I’m also currently a mature student studying an Illustration degree online to help further my interest and skills alongside my full-time job as a veterinary nurse.

I have pretty big ambitions such as potentially illustrating a children’s book or producing my own graphic novel about a bluegrass band made of woodland creatures.

I also create bright and happy animal illustrated gifts including art prints, greeting cards, stickers and pins which you can find in my Etsy shop. All my creations are crafted by myself or using UK based companies. I've found my artwork attracts both adults and children and it's fantastic to hear people tell me why they are drawn to a particular character.

Thank you for exploring my website and taking the time to find out more about me and my work.
