About me

I am an artist currently based in Norwich, where I study Illustration. I am prolific in traditional illustration and particularly enjoy character art, book illustrations and storyboarding. I have experience with freelance and collaborative projects, and I am open to freelance work, commissions or internships. I am also a writer for my university's magazine, Storehouse, where I work in a diverse team to produce articles enjoyed by students and the public. In my spare time I enjoy making resin and silver jewellery, and I sell these pieces on my Etsy shop.

  Life Drawing: Aerial YogaA life drawing of an aerial yoga pose, drawn with a red coloured pencil on yellow card. I wanted to explore the contrast between softness and tension in the body.
• Bloody MaryThe Virgin Mary altar and votive at The Duomo, Florence. The original photo was taken on 35mm film. Using an alternative process known as gum bichromate, I transferred the negative onto watercolour cardstock to achieve this look.
• Reportage Illustration (ongoing)Some quick drawings of friends, back from when I could safely draw people at cafes/bars. We had a sketching session during a break from our exhibition in February. When things calm down with the virus, I'd love to draw more people like this again.

  A Love Twice as FairA collaborative project between myself and UEA Creative Writing student, Nina Watson. We drew inspiration from Medieval manuscripts and fantasy to create a short queer love story. It was showcased at a public exhibition at NUA in February 2020. I illustrated the pictures and the border with ink and brush pens, and handpainted the illuminated typography. I then used InDesign to format the pictures and text, keeping the eight page limit in mind.
