As a figurative artist, I create portraits in charcoal, pencil and oil paint that are traditional in technique but expressive in style. I strive to reclaim figurative art as a powerful means of story telling and communicating identity, as well as a meditative practice of re-learning to see the world authentically.

Alongside this, I work as a illustrator by commission for organisations and communities working towards social and environmental justice, create foraging ID posters and intricate mycological & botanical designs for handmade prints in lino, woodblock and risograph. These prints and posters hope to inspire connection with the natural world, by helping you get to know plants and fungi, and start to recognise them outside too. You can find them in my online shop, come find me at a market stall, or find them in a few shops around the UK.

My foraging workshops encourage the growth of creative connection to nature, through sharing knowledge about wild food, medicine and crafts.

The music I write echoes these principles, taking the form of contemporary folk-leaning songs with melodic finger-style guitar and banjo parts, and lyrics circling the themes of home and time. They explore nature and/as creativity and community, and –much like hedgerow ecologies– are interwoven with found soundscapes and instrumental parts that murmurate through…
