About me

Hi! I create artwork that combines pattern, figurative and ornamental elements using delineated forms. It is generally colourful and imaginative leaning towards decorative design. Mixed media is my preferred method combining gouache, coloured pencils, watercolour, ink and metallics.

Projects

• Goldfinch and PearMixed media illustration inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts. A small painting created using ink, watercolour, coloured pencils and gouache.
• Floretta Ditsy TeapotsCharming vintage-style teapots with a ditsy floral design. 'Floretta' was developed from a doodle I discovered in an old sketchbook. The hand-drawn quality, whimsical charm and pastel colours were chosen for their country cottage feel, ideal for a a flowery teatime aesthetic.
• Papillons PrécieuxCreated for the Advanced Track of the Make It In Design Winter School (2024) in response to a brief titled 'Metamorphosis'. ------- Butterflies spend much of their lives in transformation. They were a popular motif amongst Art Nouveau artisans who transformed them from fleeting to eternal beauties via the art of enamelling and gem setting. This was the element of metamorphosis that I took for my design. There are three colourways - topaz, emerald and amethyst. ------- Hand-painted/digital
