Furiously curious
I've been a professional illustrator and calligrapher for many years, but only recently have I begun to release the curious creatures that have long inhabited my head and my sketchbook. They are happy to be running free at last!
My deepest thanks to those who convinced me to open this shop, and to all who enjoy my prints and paintings.
