ABOUT

I am a freelance artist and illustrator working from The Mill Studios, in Penryn Cornwall. 

My artwork is inspired by the natural world, telling stories of connection to each other and to the land. Starting with reportage drawings in my sketchbook, I document playful interactions inspired by outdoor adventuring, the changes of season, growing, harvesting and enjoying. Alongside themes of sisterhood and friendship, memories, roots, rituals and home. 

These initial drawings inform my printmaking practice, and become part of larger compositions made up of multiple layers. Specialising in silkscreen printing onto paper and fabrics, I tell stories in sequences, over pages, and in patterns. In November 2025 I had my first exhibition Wandering Wondering at The Old Lifeboat House in Porthleven, showcasing my recent silkscreen printed banners and sketchbooks.

Alongside my personal practice, I work with individuals and companies, creating a thoughtful collaboration between their vision and my observations. I design relatable and joyful imagery for businesses, providing them with a visual dimension to their narrative. I have been lucky enough to work with some very inspiring companies, including Gorse Bakery, Wavelength Magazine, Lanteague Studios, Lowena Flowers, Petalon Flower Farm, Resurgence & Ecologist, and Freddie Grubb.
