About Me...
As a freelance multidisciplinary creative, with a passion for illustration and graphic design, I create visuals that educate children and young adults about wildlife, nature and the world we live in. I want my work to encourage children and young people to develop an appreciation of the world around them, wherever it is they live, and therefore develop a love and respect for the wildlife and nature within our world, in a way that is enjoyable, age appropriate, educational.
Developing an appreciation of our world, I hope, will make people more aware of environmental issues and climate change, and how we all need to make changes to make a difference.
Along side this I love creating wildlife artwork in watercolour which I sell as art prints, greetings cards and other gift items.
Go to my Etsy shop to purchase copies of my books, prints and gifts, or contact me for commissions and collaborations on the contact page.
