About
Even though my themes are whimsical, I want to create an experience and a shared sense of realism in my illustrations. When it comes to my creative choices, I appreciate being free to experiment with numerous styles and execute what works best for the brief. I've always enjoyed bringing sophisticated narratives into my work and deconstructing them in the illustrations; sometimes this comes across as cinematic, which is how I see each creation, as an extension of a larger picture. Every project has its own personality, which informs how I interpret the final illustrated work; my passion for design comes into play here as well, as I want to build a more personable relationship with the individuals seeing the artwork.
Memoir
Reborn in the light of spring' was an illustration based on six words that represent how spring makes me feel like a new person, a transformative season.
Utopia
This illustration explores the never-ending concept of what a utopia means and how explorers search for lost treasure but seem to nothing find it.
Glasgow Women's Library Podcast Illustrations
'Mango' by Laura Marney is a short story based on the Congolese Genocide and follows the story of a young woman named LuLu whose assault left her scarred.
Anatomy of an Orb Weaver Spider
This illustration has a graphic vector style which educates children on the beauty of your local garden spiders. This was one of my favourite projects to work on throughout my degree.
