I am an illustrator living and working in Norwich, UK. I graduated from Norwich University of the Arts in 2021 with a BA (Hons) in Illustration.
I love making detailed, sensitive and story-led work, often inspired by nature and folklore. I hand draw my line-work with pencils and use ink and pencil layers for colouring which I digitally layer and colour. Writing and hand-lettering are also an important part of my practice.
I am open to work on illustration commissions in publishing and editorial, and anything else my work would be a good fit for.
I also co-run Tulips and Heather Shop with my partner Freya where we make and sell prints, stationery, zines and other paper goods, operating here online and at local markets.
I am currently working on creating more narrative and sequential work, combining my written and visual storytelling and I am exploring this with comic making, which I am documenting on my newsletter.
