ABOUT ME:

I am an illustrator primarily based in Edinburgh. I was born in the South of England, but I grew up on the North coast of Scotland.

I am a horror movie fanatic and an avid reader, I spend a lot of my spare time watching movies. My work in my free time mostly focuses on animals and portraits.

My style is a combination of manually drawn, fine line work and digital paint with mono print textures layered on top.

I love playing around with unusual combinations of bright colours and textures. Subject wise I like to create surreal shapes with the features of my chosen subject. My specialties are textile graphics, poster designs and personal portraiture.
