Hello
You might find me peddling around Newcastle... looking a bit dishevelled, with pen on my face.
I love making my wonky, messy drawings into original, witty illustrations, products and artworks. I draw with bold line, collage and print to produce colourful responses to everyday life.
I’m unashamedly sentimental and try and keep objects alive, by recording them.
I like old books, charity shop treasures, netball, my bike, wildlife and eating cheese scones with strong coffee. I have two wildling children, two enormous rabbits, a temperamental goldfish and a messy old house.
I make for work commission and in collaboration with community groups. I help people doodle, draw, print and collage interesting, personal artworks for their environment and for printed projects and enjoy helping them solve problems through design.
Follow me on Facebook or instagram to see what I've recently been up to!
