Books
Coral Reefs
This book was created during my Art Foundation Degree in 2018. Inspired by the ever changing climate, I wanted to explore the impact on our oceans. I was able to communicate our ocean's beauty through ink paintings, whilst highlighting the facts of what we could lose if the climate's condition continues to decline.
A Woodland Friendship
For this project I created a book cover and a few page spreads based on a spell performed by the Witches in Shakespeare's 'MacBeth'. From this powerful piece of writing I was able to create a narrative for a book, about friendship and sticking together. This was a fun and challenging project to work on at university.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Reimagined
Another university project saw me create a different version of the classic 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. The focus was on the way Sir John Tenniel created his imagery and which techniques were used at the time.
To compliment my written findings I recreated some of the classic illustrations, referencing Tenniel's style and techniques to better understand his methods.
Isabelle's Conservation Journey
This project is very close to my heart. I created a story book based on a family's experience of nature where they live in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex. The story sees a young girl called Isabelle grow up learning about nature from her Grandad. But after he dies, she finds it too difficult to keep her love of nature alive. Until one day her younger brother begins to take an interest in nature, but finds all the animals have disappeared. Together Isabelle and her brother make it their mission to bring the wildlife back, learning ways to rewild and encourage wildlife back.
I dedicated this book to my Grandad who taught me all about animals.
Red: Fox Life Unearthed
I created this book as my final project at University. I have always admired Foxes for their intelligence and ingenuity, but are sometimes given a bad reputation. This children's book was designed to highlight them in truth rather than opinion. Allowing the reader to decide for themselves whether they like Foxes or not. I hope it gives them more insight in to why they act how they do.
