Portfolio

I have a very diverse range of work curated over years of arts practice. Here are some of my favorites.

You’ll see book illustration, costumes and props, Wearable art and everything in between.

There is no hands-on project I won’t consider taking on, and if I haven’t done it before, I’ll find a way to do it. I have a wide network of skilled craftspeople I liaise with, so your job is in safe hands!
