FAQ
What do you create?
I would describe my work as colourful, sometimes spooky dark, and usually fantasy-inspired. I'm a humanist but I love everything magical, mythological and supernatural so you will see a lot of those themes running through my work.
I've worked on a wide range of projects from animation, to colouring sheets for a festival of activism, to pop up shops, to educational spot illustrations, to creating nature and fantasy-inspired illustrations for products and home decor. I love it all.
How do you create it?
I work on my art from a little home studio in Bristol; a small creative city full of amazing makers and artists, breweries and coffee shops, restaurants, independent shops and green parks. I work best with a pencil and paper so I usual start there with rough sketches. My animation background and gaming habits kickstarted my love of digital painting early so I create most of my art digitally, usually in Procreate but I did start out as a religious Adobe user. I really like textures, interesting lighting, and rich colours in my work and these can be created using layer effects.

What do you stand for?
Working with young people as a teacher for almost a decade, and studying a neuro-and-psych-heavy Masters has gifted me with a much better understanding of people, and inspired a passion for mental health awareness and advocacy, and Allyship. People, like nature, are flawed, fascinating and diverse, and I love seeing that represented. Ethical production and conservation of our world is really important so I try to limit my impact where I can. These are all things I would like to explore and promote more in my creative work, not just in my personal life.
