I’m a Dorset-based graphite fine artist. My work connects the beauty surrounding us in the natural world with the beauty that is within us all. I’m inspired by the people I meet and by the incredible coastline and countryside of Dorset.
You can commission me for portraits of people or pets. Original work, prints and cards are available in my shop.
I work almost exclusively with wooden graphite pencils on paper. The act of drawing brings me peace, wellbeing and joy and I hope my drawings give that to you, too.

My work has been exhibited around Dorset, at Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, at Mall Galleries in London, in Wells Cathedral and online with the Federation of British Artists. I’m a member of the Association of Animal Artists an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art.
