Handmade Books


I am passionate about bookbinding! I love to make all sorts of books from scratch, (illustrate them and write them too of course). I was recently commissioned by Oxfam to make sketchbooks using the covers of second-hand books, which was fun. I sell my handmade books in other shops around Brighton such as the Hope. If you are interested in buying a book or commissioning one, feel free to get in touch.

The Folkestone Triennial





I drew these seagulls for the Folkestone Triennial. From top to bottom they are named; Sabine's Gull, Iceland Gull and Lesser Black Backed Gull. Please click on image for enlarged view.

Association of Illustrators


I am a member of the Association of Illustrators. The competition I won was called 'A View of London', where Reflect on London was exhibited in the London Transport Museum (Covent Garden). You can find out more about the exhibition HERE.
