Available to hire
I am a commercial illustrator and art educator with a passion for delivering engaging, visually focused lessons to children and young learners. I work across digital and traditional illustration, with a strong emphasis on composition, colour, and visual storytelling.
My printmaking background—etching, woodcut, lithography, and monotype—gives my work a distinctive texture and language that I bring to both client projects and classroom settings. I regularly participate in exhibitions and collaborate with galleries and schools, based in Oxford.
