Illustrations for a project on the Inuit culture.  Watercolour on paper, with photos taken by Douglas.

A mono-printing session using found objects and mixed media.  The whales still manage to make it into my work!

Some of the first successful charcoal drawings I've made.  These were part of a PGCE workshop, and show strange natural objects such as seed pods.

Some sketches in black marker made at the British Museum of the Horse Head of Selene. 
Always had a bit of a thing for Mucha, and the Art Nouveau movement.  Kept in pen and ink for now, colour to come perhaps later when they are printed as cards.



A one off project that looked into 'interior spaces.'  I decided to take it into the interior as the exterior.  A very interesting use of paint, and thanks to Sarah, my canvas.

Some postcards I've printed. A little selection of houses and mushrooms.



A few paintings I've been doing for children. I mount them up, so they can be given as gifts for birthdays, christenings, dedications etc. These can also be personalised and start at about £30. Please contact me if you're interested.

Some completed final images for my 3rd year Degree project. Over the last 15 weeks, I have found the whale such a fascinating creature. My final piece has taken the form of a large framed wall piece, with one whale representing 300 in real life, reflecting the actual numbers of whale species left. There are 1,003 whales on the final 1.5 metre by 2.5 metre work!

A series of images from my ongoing project about the whale. Playing with scale is key here, so I am playing around with the idea of complete opposite sizes. The top images are 10cm x 6cm.

An image from my promotional book 'The Smelly Mackerel.' It's a investigative book on the mackerel, only 8 pages long. Short and sweet. (or smelly...)

This is the beginning of my work for my Final Major Project. It will be based on animal anatomy. This is just some early work, researching into styles.
The lioness is attracted to males with darker manes apparently, and their shoulder muscle in unattached to the shoulder, allowing huge leg movement. Just some facts!



A commission I did for a couple through Flora Lou, the shop in Chobham where I sell my work. This was my first attempt at a homemade canvas, which was a success. It was a really enjoyable piece to work on.




When it comes to letters, I love making them look pretty. This is one I sent to a friend a while back.

These were originally going to be sold, but I actually like them too much. This is happening increasingly, and not particularly good for business!!


An owl. He looks a bit grumpy though. This one looks more like a defined gentlemen...

Some more work for my current project on the Spanish Riding School. It is taking the form of a narrative, and therefore a book at the moment. It tells of the evacuation of the prized stallions in 1945 to safety, and the events that happened for the horses around the end of the war. It's great to be able to tweak Uni projects to fit my favourite subjects!

Some images from my current Uni project. It's been quite hard to capture the ballet style movements of the stallions without the work being static, but I feel I have loosened up a bit now, and my work seems to be slightly more fluid.

Duke the Great Dane. I had a call from a lady who had seen my horse paintings in the Flora Lou window and wanted a similar portrait of her dog. I went to meet her and the dog last week, he is such a poppet. It's nice to do something a little different and I hope more work will come from it, but he really is just a small horse.
