About me

I am an illustrator who has a romantic gentle view to any subject given. I love colour wether it be muted tones with the occasional bright thrown in. Mediums include embroidery, pencil and paint each combined with Photoshop. Clients have included Mary Portas, Domino Records and Southbank Centre.

Projects

• Kath on the hairdryerThis is one of the day in the life of KATHERINE. I enjoy drawing everyday mundane activities and making them look beautiful gentle and romantic. I have always wanted to see my illustrations move. Stop Frame animation is the direction I am headed with my personal work.
• Sharon eats sconesI always wanted my illustrations to move so I have begun creating gifs to bring them to life.
