I am a mixed media illustrator and maker who has lived on the Fife and Kent coasts all of my life. I cannot imagine not being near the sea. ​

​

Central to my work are the themes of nature and death with recurring topics of folklore, social history, sustainability, mythology... and the odd zombie here and there. 

​

Experimentation and layering is instrumental to what I do. Rural and urban foraging has always been something I've enjoyed and I've started using those found treasures to experiment with tying the art to a place, time or memory. 

​

​At the age of 40 I took the plunge and enrolled in a University course to study for a BA Hons in Illustration and Animation (mainly Illustration) at the University for Creative Arts in Canterbury. Having access to all their equipment has really helped me focus in and discover a love of print and alternative photography which I'm enjoying incorporating within stitch, textiles and mixed media collage.
