I am a UK-based illustrator and artist specialising in whimsical, nature-inspired illustration for books, publishing, and creative projects. My work is rooted in storytelling, emotion, and atmosphere. I create illustrations that feel warm, expressive, and quietly magical, with a hand-painted quality that brings depth and soul to the page. I am particularly drawn to projects involving children’s books, devotional books, nature, and gentle narrative-led themes. I have illustrated two published books and designed a musician’s CD cover, along with accompanying artwork and visual elements. In addition to commissioned work, I have over twenty years’ experience as a practising artist, working across painting, mixed media, graphic design, zine making, illustration, and print. This long-term studio practice gives my work a strong visual identity and an intuitive understanding of composition, colour, and mood. Clients often choose me because I bring more than just illustration skills. I am thoughtful, collaborative, and highly attuned to the feeling a project needs to convey. I care deeply about the story behind the work and aim to create imagery that supports and enhances the message rather than overpowering it. I am reliable, communicative, and comfortable working to briefs, timelines, and revisions, while also offering creative input where it adds value. I especially enjoy projects where sensitivity, meaning, and heart matter as much as aesthetics.
