A bit about me
I am an artist, illustrator and maker currently based between Sussex and Bristol (and for the past few years I’ve spent a lot of time in New Zealand).
Much of my work is inspired by my love of swimming and being in or near water. Although often my subject varies (from swimmers to life drawing studies to improbable birds), my work is connected through my love of imperfect lines, negative space and simplified or exaggerated forms.
I love working with coloured pencil and drawing with ink, making stuff with my hands and the tactile nature of materials is really important to me and my practice.
It’s really important to me that my studio and art practice ‘treads lightly’ on our environment.
My prints and greetings cards are therefore printed on 1 of 2 types of paper.
The light newsprint paper (A5 prints and about half of my card range) is printed on an unbleached paper stock made from 100% genuine de-inked post consumer waste, certified by FSC®.
The light brown paper (A4 prints and the other half of my card range) is printed on paper made from 100% agricultural waste. (The products from crop farming which would otherwise be burnt). It is completely tree free, unbleached and fully recyclable. I love it!
And of course, all the bags I use to wrap my drawings/prints and cards in are biodegradable and compostable.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about my work
