The Story so Far
I am a semi-retired (in that I create when I feel like it) illustrator, designer-maker, tattooed geek, avid reader and occasional writer. I live in the heart of the Sussex countryside on the south coast of Britain, with my husband Luke and my student Illustrator daughter Orla.
When inspired to create, my art is influenced by nature, quirky and colourful things, toys, bric a brac, weird ephemera, strange quotes, tattoos, patterns, stories etc, all of which inspire illustrations that intentionally fall within no specific style, genre or niche. When I was younger I studied Fashion/Textile design, which still has an influence on my my work.
My favoured medium is mostly ink, though occasionally incorporate paint and some mixed media elements. I tend to focus mostly on sketchbook work these days.
I also studied Ceramics, and create one-off pieces featuring original designs and illustrations. I have an online shop through which I sell ceramic work. However, it’s currently on hiatus while I get my kiln in order.
The work I have included here is that which I have liked or at least been satisfied with, so I don't include everything. Some work will appear here and on my blog, and some experimental pieces will only appear on my blog.
I don’t sell original artwork any more, and I don’t undertake commissions, exhibitions and shows. However, I do love an interesting project, so if you would like to collaborate on something, then please message me on Instagram.
