About my art

My art is a visual love-letter to the natural world and all the miracles contained therein. Whether on skin, paper or canvas my work is always crafted with love and meticulous attention to detail.

Rather than shaping the world to conform to my own vision I aspire to faithfully capture the beauty already present in the natural world that surrounds us. 

Collaborating with clients is my favourite way to make art; a way for me to explore imagery I might otherwise never draw, and encounter people from walks of life I otherwise might not. Whether you’re after a portrait of a beloved pet, an illustration of a special plant or a still life painting, you are welcome to book a free consultation with me to discuss your ideas.
