I’m a Derbyshire-based Illustrator and Community Artist, holding a BA (Hons) in Textiles and an MA in Illustration from Central Saint Martins.

My work is driven by curiosity—shaped by film, literature, natural history, and the spirit of exploration. I tell stories through objects and images, arranging them to invite viewers to linger and uncover hidden narratives. From woodland finds and film stills to museum objects, I explore how the ordinary can become extraordinary when seen through a particular lens.

Collections and series are central to my practice, each unfolding as a connected narrative. My sketchbooks serve as journals, echoing the curiosity of early naturalists and explorers.

I have over three decades of experience leading community art workshops for people of all ages and abilities. I create welcoming, hands-on sessions that encourage experimentation, play, and personal storytelling, helping participants connect with their own creative voice.

I am also developing work in children’s illustration—both fiction and non-fiction picture books—and am currently seeking representation to support and grow this author–illustrator side of my practice.

Through my work, I aim to draw attention to overlooked stories, inviting readers and viewers to pause, look again, and engage with the world around them.
