While studying for my degree in Applied Arts, I unexpectedly found myself being drawn back (pun intended) to illustration. I was inspired by the artists I loved as a child such as Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter, and the materials they used and began drawing in pen and ink. This lightbulb moment has grown into the business I have created today. Over the past 10 years I’ve developed my signature style across all different surfaces and mediums.

Most recently I have been curating my collection for retail, creating artworks in gold foil. Since having my two boys and freelancing around my family life, it has given me a chance to create pieces that I love, and respond to what is going on around me in a much shorter time frame.

The hand drawn nature has always been the most important aspect of my work and I love how each piece is unique and hand cut to create something truly special. The embossing process is wonderfully tactile, allowing me to share my illustrations in a new way.
