About

Hello! I originally trained as a natural history illustrator and have spent 20 years creating artwork for the giftware and greetings card industry. I am very much a homebody with a passion for nature, and those are the core threads in my work. 

I recently took a break and returned to further education to study wildlife conservation, something I've wanted to do for a long time. They were challenging years but account for some of the best of my life, and it was at uni where I found my fascination and love for ecology which became the unexpected catalyst for my return to creative work. I have always felt a deep connection to nature, never failing to be awestruck by its beauty across the whole spectrum from soil to sky. Relaying that beauty, the interconnectedness of some of our magical habitats and ecosystems, and our belonging in them have become the ‘why’ for much of my work (peppered with the occasional snoozing dog on a comfy chair when the weather drives me indoors!).  

My long term vision is a business that can contribute to fundraising for marginal land purchase to help restore environmentally degraded areas in the UK.

I work in pencil, emulsion, and watercolour. My prints, cards and stationery are printed in the UK by businesses who care about their environmental impact, and have robust sustainability policies in place.

Thank you for reading!
