Discovering the Joy of Illustration
I've always been a visual learner and doodler but I started properly committing myself to the craft of illustration in early 2020. Just as the real world started shutting down I found a number of imagined worlds at the end of a (digital) pen.
As you scroll you will see a mixture of both art (for the pleasure of art) and educational pieces linked to my work in facilitation and creative learning

Graphic Recording and Visual Minutes
I am in the process of developing a visual language to enhance the work I do in creative learning and professional development spaces. The use of visual minutes and graphic recording allows me to reflect back the discovery and conversation during a workshop or process, offering a more dynamic and stimulating form of evaluation and documentation

MORE FROM MY PORTFOLIO
I like to work with a variety of aesthetics and stimulus when creating my art.
It is often very emotionally instinctive or inspired by pieces of writing/poetry.
As a collaborator I can work well to specific briefs or be allowed to roam free- I love the creative conversation that surrounds illustration
