I am an emerging artist with a passion for storytelling, fantasy, children’s book illustration, and visionary art.
The children’s book illustrators who created the pictures that I loved as a child, particularly the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration, inspire me. This has influenced my style, which is decorative and ethereal, underlined by strong line work and design.
I enjoy exploring the possibilities of different techniques, including traditional media, printmaking and digital.
Animals and nature inspire me. I like to feature these subjects in my art, giving them personality, individuality, and hero status in the image. This year, the theme running through my art has been the special contribution made by companion animals to our lives.
