Ink & Watercolour Illustrations

Art that captures the vibrancy of life.

Welcome! I sketch what's around me, what I see in my environment – nature, shades and colours, sometimes animals, buildings, people – and often take my own photographs of the same that expand into further ideas for illustrations. My favourite method is to work freehand with ink then wash over it all with watercolours; sometimes I work with pastels, graphite, and colour pencils.

Most of my portfolio can be created for you as prints with either eco-friendly papers and printing processes, or on archival quality giclée paper. These printing methods cost more than the more commercial print-on-demand options. Please enquire if you are interested. Thank you.

Hand-drawn digital illustrations for a Lenormand Oracle Deck. This was both an experiment and a challenge I set myself to see if I could create 36 cards using only digital drawing (in my carefree, bold style), and still have the deck read well. Affirmative: in my opinion, this is both a fun and accurate deck!
