Behind the Scenes - Illustrating a Cosy Christmas Editorial Commission for a Magazine
I was recently commissioned by Homes & Antiques magazine to illustrate a festive Christmas scene featuring an antique shop set in a Georgian building. The brief called for classic Christmas charm, plenty of decorations, falling snow, and a family walking past, taking in the magic. A dream project!
Behind the Scenes - Illustrating a Book Cover
I was recently approached by a publisher with a request to illustrate a book cover and several black-and-white spot illustrations for a novel called A Calamity of Mannerings, which they described as I Capture the Castle meets Bridgerton. As someone who loves this literary era, I knew immediately that this was a dream project.

A publisher got in contact with me asking me to illustrate a book cover and several black and white spot illustrations for a book they described as I Capture the Castle meets Bridgerton. I love this era of literature, so this was the perfect project for me!
Five Days in Norway
I just got back from a little holiday in Norway. We booked flights very spontaneously and we had a wonderful five days staying with friends in Stavanger. We hiked in the woods, went to the beach, visited the city and I even have time to do a little bit of painting whilst Herbie napped.
Slow Travel with a Toddler
I’ve just got back from a holiday to Mallorca and it was truly blissful. It was our first holiday since having a baby and we brought my parents along as reinforcements. I kept my expectations low as I’d heard ‘it’s not a holiday, it’s parenting in a different location’ a million times, but to be honest it was lovely. I think the key was taking it very slowly (and having a 4 to 1 adult to toddler ratio).
