Live Drawing

During my MA, I rekindled my love for drawing from observation.  I also learned about reportage illustration, which is similar to photojournalism, but with a sketchbook.  I like capturing moments of people at work or going about their day and telling stories through my drawings.

Fieldwork and science

I am a marine ecologist as well as an artist, and love to draw other artists and researchers at work to show conservation in action.

Drawing from life

My artistic practice is based on observational drawing, and I always have a sketchbook in my pocket.

I spent a month in Venice in May 2025 as a Fellow with the British Council, drawing my experience of working at the Biennale.

National Trust

Whenever I travel in the UK, I visit National Trust properties.  I love to draw people enjoying and learning about our historical landmarks.

At the beach

I love the sea, and am usually in or near it.  An ongoing project, 'At the beach' is a collection of drawings of people enjoying the seaside.

Travel sketchbooks

I love drawing new people in new places, and find that when I'm drawing I notice more.  It's also a great way to start a conversation!
