May The Forest Find Its Home In You
Inspired by my lifelong infatuation with the natural world, this series of mini projects uses the medium of three-dimensional concept art to explore animal adaptation. This creature is an Elder God, guardian of rainforests on the fantasy island of Cassanyurnos.
Autumnal Slumber
This red fox has nestled herself amongst the Autumnal undergrowth, snoring away, peacefully dreaming of rabbits. Part of a pair of illustrations created for a textile design competition, it is centred around British Autumn, featuring native fungi, seeds, and flora.
Mother Room Roots
‘Mother Room Roots’ is a mini-comic created from randomised word prompts. The words generated were ‘Mother’, ‘Room’ and ‘Roots’.
From these prompts I constructed and developed an abstract-gothic inspired narrative; The project involves themes of fear, growth, motherhood and the challenge of breaking cycles.
STRANGER
STRANGER is a project documenting the lived experience of transgender people. For this project I most specifically focused on their relationships to their ‘deadnames’: the names they were born with but no longer use.
I aimed to create a work that explores these individual relationships to the concept of names through both the words of transgender people themselves, and a series of magical realism inspired illustrations to represent the adventure, magic and strife of these experiences in an uniquely interpretable way.

Picture This
There are a few things as charming and as attractive as spending time outdoors, especially when we are tired, stressed and overwhelmed by the noise and pollution of the city. The story of an image is escaping from town to nature.
