About
I am an artist and illustrator based at Krowji studios in Cornwall. I have been lucky to experience living in Portugal and Australia, and now find myself settled back in the UK where I enjoy swimming, surfing, and exploring on foot or by bike.
Observational drawing forms the basis of all my work - I love taking my sketchbook out and about with me and attending life drawing sessions.
People, plants, and fabric capture most of my attention. Each drawing or painting feels like solving a puzzle as I work out the shapes, colours and tones that bring it all into balance.
I am also working on some children's book submissions, represented by Gill McLay at Bath Literary Agency. Please contact Gill here to request my portfolio and for any book-related enquiries.
