I have self-published my first little book:
'The Pleasures and Health Benefits of Beachcombing'.
A book to comfort and calm you. A great gift for someone you love or for someone who loves the beach and everything that it offers. Inspired by my Mother, who taught me to see the things that are often overlooked and to find joy in small pleasures, which will get you through difficult times.
As well as being written, it is also fully illustrated by yours truly. An illustration is on every page of this 32-page book.
You can buy my book in the UK for £10 each. I have a limited supply of these books left, so if you are interested in buying one, please send me a message on my CONTACT page.
I have also written a story called
'The Ghost Cat'.
This is a tale about a woman who is struggling with stress and desperately wants to leave her job, but doesn't know how.
Feeling lost, she pours out her troubles onto a cat she has just met. She playfully suggests they swap lives. But due to fate and unexpected consequences, they swap personalities and carry on in their present lives.
This story fits within the weird fiction genre and is also fully illustrated by me.
'The Ghost Cat - The First Chapter' is a 16-page fully illustrated zine, now available to buy as a paper zine in the UK or as a PDF zine. It is a stand-alone story with a 'to be continued' ending. I only have a limited supply of the paper zines, so if you are interested in buying one, the paper zines are £4 each or £3 for a PDF zine.

POSTER DESIGN for the charity, MIND.
I designed this poster for a BA project. I chose the subject because it is close to my heart and has affected my family as it has with many families.
I wanted to use the same style as within the picturebook that I am creating on the subject of anxiety and depression.
Personal project: In response to the effects of Fibromyalgia and Tinnitus, my illustration is designed to help those directly unaffected by these conditions, to see and feel, but also to give comfort to those that are affected.
"Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed".
A commission for a book of poetry in response to plastic pollution.
Personal project, later published within a book focused on Immortality, in answer to the question of what immortality means to me
FINAL MAJOR PROJECT for BA (Hons) ILLUSTRATION
One of the double page spreads I designed and illustrated for a self authored fairytale; a wordless, children's picturebook (arguably a graphic novel) that addresses anxiety and depression and which I hope to get published.
