About

I'm an illustrator and linocut printmaker, working in Bristol, UK. I have a passion for the natural world and wildlife conservation, and these themes are prominent in my personal practice. I take influence from the natural world, medieval illuminations and wood engravings and printmakers throughout history. I'm represented worldwide by Illustration X.
