This is me.
I'm a Welsh illustrator based in the beautiful Kentish countryside on the sunniest side of England. My work is full of positivity, magic, and wonder. I love creating characters, then inventing worlds for them to live in and trouble for them to get into. I like to use a mixture of traditional and digital techniques for my illustrations, but I often play around with printmaking and ceramics, just for fun.
My favorite projects are those that force me out of my comfort zone, where I can stretch and learn new approaches to my work. I find inspiration in film, antiques, and in the ordinary things that happen around me.
I have an MA in Illustration from Camberwell University of the Arts London, and a BA in Fine Art, I love studying so I’m always signing up to talks, courses and workshops. I love learning!
When I‘m not doodling away in my basement studio, lovingly dubbed ‘The Cave’, I’m going on adventures with my daughter and swimming in the sea.
