I am a Canadian artist and illustrator living and working in Bristol. I am interested in communicating with and connecting to viewers through work which has layers of meaning and material. I am available for painting, printing and illustration commissions as well as bespoke drawing and printing workshops adults or children. I'd love to hear from you.

At the moment I’m painting on recycled wood, making work which connects to environmental themes. I am working with substrates that carry past history and can be sourced sustainably. It is key that I allow the material to be evident and to guide the work so that the subject and the media are connected. I’m trying to make work which provokes hope particularly in relation to the climate crisis; thinking about the importance of human’s connection with nature as a way through this incredibly challenging time.

I'm also a keen illustrator and printmaker and love a graphic bold line and colour!
