About
Meet the Illustrator:
Located in the lush green woodland areas of Dartmoor, Devon in the UK, I am an illustrator who has always been fascinated by nature, drawing animals and other natural elements, and creating stories about the creatures I encounter. My love for the environment has led me to adopt a vegan lifestyle, and I am dedicated to preserving the natural world for future generations.
I have been drawing since I was a child, and my artistic abilities have evolved over time. I pursued a degree in Fine Arts with a specialization in Illustration from Aberystwyth University and graduated with honors in 2011.
My passion for folklore, myths, and legends has been a significant source of inspiration for many of my works, in addition to wildlife. I am particularly drawn to stories that have a spooky vibe and give me chills.
I am also deeply passionate about color and vibrancy, and my work is characterized by eye-catching colors that are vivid and exciting. I especially enjoy combining colors based on the music I listen to, as I have Synesthesia, which causes me to associate colors with different sounds, instruments, and melodies.
One of my priorities is working closely with my local community to create murals in communal spaces and leading art groups/workshops as part of local initiatives to foster a more inclusive and social environment where everyone feels welcome.

Letting sleeping Moss dragons lie...
Sustainability and being Green ...
The art that flows from my spirit is a vow to our beloved Mother Nature. As I gazed upon the heaps of paper and art supplies wasted, I vowed to weave magic that seamlessly blends with the environment. And so, I ventured into the realm of digital sorcery, where imagination knows no bounds. Here, I can weave spells of wonder without leaving a trace behind.
With digital magic at my fingertips, I can mold my creations to perfection without any wastage. This spellbinding craft is rooted in the earth, with renewable energy as my mighty ally. I dance with the elements, harnessing the power of the sun and wind to fuel my spells.
In this era of digital marvels, my art echoes through the digital realm, leaving no ecological footprint. And when I must dabble in the physical world, I tread lightly, using only recycled or FSC-certified materials and plant-based inks. My art is a tribute to the earth and the wonders of creation, a promise to weave magic while treading gently upon the paths of respect.
