I am a London based freelance illustrator specialising in children's books and editorial illustration and I am obsessed with drawing. My work is infused with inspiration from the natural world, be it colour, shapes or my love of animals and a little bit of childhood wonder. I regularly explore techniques using pattern and mainly use paint and watercolour pencils to create my work, which I then pull together in a digital format to create my final piece.

I am currently studying for my MA in children's book illustration at Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge and have a degree in illustration. I also regularly exhibit in London and sell work on Etsy, my shop is called Underthewoods.

I can reproduce anything in my portfolio in different sizes on different products such as mugs and cushions so if you have your eye on a particular piece just ask me and we'll see what we can do.

I hope you enjoy my work, if you do please feel free to tell Twitter and help me promote my wares.
