Biography
My mission as an artist is to create darkly whimsical, magical realist artwork that invites people to slow down, reconnect with nature, folklore, and imagination, and find a little magic in the everyday.
I am committed to making all my work myself, from original paintings to accessible art products such as prints, framed pieces, greeting cards, bookmarks, journals, and stickers. This allows my art to be enjoyed in many forms, whether as a treasured original or a small, meaningful object.
I want my work to resonate with those drawn to the mystical, the natural world, and the gently strange—and to create art that feels like a companion for fellow dreamers, readers, and lovers of magic.
inspiration
My art takes inspiration from wildlife, flora, fauna, folklore, witchcraft, and the copious amount of fantasy books I consume. My style is often described as "magical realism" and "darkly whimsical". Quite often I use my art to escape from the drudgery of everyday life, preferring instead to tell fantastical stories of magical creatures. The soundtrack to my work includes artists such as Hozier and Florence And The Machine.
medium
I work across a range of traditional painting mediums, including watercolour, gouache, oils, and acrylics. Each medium allows me to explore different textures, depths, and moods within my work. I often combine careful detail with bright washes of colour to bring my illustrations to life. Colour plays a central role in my paintings, which are known for their vibrant, saturated palettes - I often joke that I cannot make something dark and moody for the life of me!
My preferred medium is watercolour and gouache for the majority of my smaller paintings, however when working outdoors at an event, I like to use acrylic for its expressive nature, and the ability to work quickly on a larger canvas. Oils are used less often, usually when I have a particular spark of inspiration and a lot of time on my hands!
