About me
Draw everything! As I live and travel around the South Coast in my van, I use drawing to capture moments. Sketching the people, architecture and landscapes of my adventures allows for authentic immersion through observation. I’m interested in the everyday and simple moments; but what is “normal”? I celebrate the oddities of regular people and places. Wobbly lines and playful colours are the building blocks of my quirky worlds. My quick, live portrait sessions are a space to take a moment to capture a snapshot of each sitter’s personality over a 5 minute chat. Don’t sit and say cheese! Take the phone call, cuddle the dog, banter your boyfriend’s new jacket! I want to create a portrait that feels uniquely you. My illustrations offer a whimsical take on the world. Working collaboratively and sensitively with places, brands and individuals to create images that feel lively, contemporary and above all, truthful. Let’s work together.

I always take a sketchbook and draw while we eat, share stories and enjoy YouTube videos of live music. I’ve been honored to learnt about her incredible 82 years of life, but the person missing from our adventures is
