Lately, I’ve been winding down my days with gouache painting, when it’s too dark to do commission work. It’s been such a joy to simply play. I’m keeping it loose, focusing on simple shapes and not expecting too much, just learning to feel comfortable with the brush and medium.

Another play with Copics, ink and pencils. I’m finally team capybara after watching Flow the other night.

I’ve always loved croissants, but drawing one felt impossible! I used pastels for softness and coloured pencils for texture, capturing all the flaky, buttery goodness. It wasn’t easy, but I’m so glad I stuck with it.

Thank you! I can’t wait to finish this one, hopefully it’ll be how I imagined it.

I’ve always wanted to draw a croissant but kept putting it off, how do you capture that perfect crispness with a limited palette? My eyes are sore, and I may have given myself a migraine, but I pushed through. Many times, I nearly gave up, but I’m so glad I didn’t. #drawing #art #illustration

Almost there with this pet portrait of a super good boi!

Just a few more details to go before he’s ready to head home.

Say hello to my latest botanical piece, Correa aka Native Fuchsia, our August native birth month flower. Known for its delicate, bell-shaped blooms, this little beauty symbolises quiet strength and resilience.

All the time! Especially if I tried something new, I always have no idea how I got to that stage.

Currently working on this pet portrait commission of a very handsome boy! Loving the process of bringing his personality to life, one pencil stroke at a time.

I love the colour palette of these three prints, it’s giving me happy spring vibes.

A drawing I completed at the end of 2024. For this drawing, I focused on getting the contrast just right, realistic but subtle enough to let the pencil strokes shine through.

I like drawing what I see because it helps me truly spend time looking at an object and appreciating every little element that makes up the object.

Say hello to Dusty the Schnauzer, my first pet portrait commission of the year.

The original reference photo wasn’t the best, think couch & indoor lighting. So I decided to give Dusty a little upgrade. The grass was a bit of a challenge, but it was so worth it.

A Magpie’s Call is a special piece born from a desire to experiment. Inspired by the moody tones of Art Deco, it’s both nostalgic and bold. The magpie on a vintage phone feels like a messenger from another time, evoking memories through sound. Available as a fine art print.
