This is the first commission I completed for Flourish Sussex , It was a valentines day theme as you can see the two Dalmatians kissing with their noses !
I was asked to create a scene of the florist studio with buckets of flowers , dried wreaths , hanging flowers , climbing roses and featuring a list of what the workshops offer . This type of commission is totally up my street , I was fully trusted and encourages to just go for it at let my creativity fly ! I love drawing all things floral . I was asked to add touches of colour and used the clients colour preferences as well as adding touches of gold to make it extra special ! This piece is very special to me as it was my first ever commission 5 Years ago , its followed by a series of others .
All created with Fine line UniPin pens 0.05 mm and colouring pencil , tweaked and touched up by my friend Holly on Adobe .
I am a Brighton based illustrator who draws everyday , it brings me so much joy! When I was little my Mum would read me fairy tales from her childhood collection like Brothers Grimm and the Andrew Lang's Fairy books. I also had so many beautiful picture books and still read them to this day. I would brush my hands over the pages wanting to touch and feel the pictures - fully immersed in the story through the artwork . My passion and inspiration to illustrate children's books comes from that nostalgia. I want people to feel the same way when they see my artwork. You can learn so much about a story through the pictures.
I specialise in fine line illustrations, I love using colouring pencils and watercolour paints. My work is bright, playful and whimsical. When I'm in my flow, I'm drawing anything nature related - fictional characters, bugs and bees, food !! things you would find in the kitchen and around the house, plants, mushrooms, birds and garden scenes - you name it!
I have worked on wedding illustrations which includes save the dates, official invite name card and table names as well as a bespoke hand painted mirror which welcomed the guests. I also loved working with a local florist doing illustrations of their studio in the each season. I also illustrated a step by step guide of how to assemble a dried flower wreath. Every year I decorate shop fronts with Christmas illustrations using paint pens. Last years theme was the twelve days of Christmas!
Take a look at my portfolio to see what I'm about!
