About

Artwork inspired by the natural world and the romantic, flowing designs of decorative arts

I’m an illustrator and modern calligrapher creating original greeting cards, stationery, art and commissioned pieces. I was taught by Quentin Blake who encouraged my loose, flowing style.

I produce all my work by hand using traditional methods; dip pens, inks, watercolour paints, crayons and beautiful art papers from the UK and Italy. I use gold and silver metallic paints, silver leaf and pure gold leaf in some of my pieces. I take time to create each piece, working slowly and carefully allowing the art to develop naturally.

I believe that small is beautiful. Small acts of kindness, small tokens of love, small gestures of appreciation and gratitude. My work is about communicating these expressions and acknowledging different life events.

Proudly made in Kent.

Production

I work in a small workshop overlooking the North Downs in Kent. The print studios and paper merchants are both family-run businesses also based in Kent. The print presses are carbon neutral in a solar-powered warehouse and the paper comes from an FSC-certified supplier.

Studio waste is recycled, composted or incinerated at a nearby steam power station which generates electricity for the local area. All my packaging is recycled, compostable and made using ethical practises from suppliers in the UK.

Studio hours are 9-5, Monday to Thursday. I post all orders via Royal Mail 48 which takes 2-3 working days to deliver.
