Drawing my way through life
I am a London-based artist specialising in drawing on location, travel illustration and sketching workshops, with my work taking me across the UK and Europe.
I have worked for a wide range of clients including Transport for London, Marks & Spencer, Radio Times, The AA and Thames & Hudson. Recent clients include The Goodwood Estate, APL Media, AEG Presents and Octopus Books. I also have experience of producing visuals and sketches to tight deadlines for clients in the events sector. I am a member of the Association of Illustrators
In 2022 I was invited to exhibit my publication ‘London Greens’ at the 22nd Annual ‘Rendez-vous du Carnet de Voyage’ in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It was nominated for the ‘Prix du Carnet de Voyage International.’
I really enjoy working on location and, in 2017, produced a portfolio of location drawings of Lisbon for Turismo du Portugal to use in their promotional marketing material on Sketch Tour Portugal.
I am currently a Visiting Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, delivering workshops in ‘Urban Drawing’ to students in the Interior Design Faculty and ‘Freehand Observational Drawing’ to students on the Foundation Course.
