Profile
Welcome to my website.
I am a freelance artist, specialising in botanical and natural history illustration, using a variety of media, including pencil, watercolour, oil, acrylics and pen and ink.
I work from my home studio in the heart of the Cotswolds surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Predominantly self-taught, I draw motivation and inspiration from my passion for plants and nature.
My designs have a fresh and contemporary edge, having been influenced by a background working in design and graphics.
I am absorbed by nature’s structure and detail and focus on capturing its beauty.
