I create unique, bespoke, hand-painted and drawn illustrations and graphic work and have been commissioned by a range of organisations such as; Every Doctor, The Association of Radical Midwives, Shifrah UK & NHS England.
I also collaborate with individuals, and have created illustrated books and graphic guides in the role of illustrator and writer. My work sits within Graphic Medicine - 'the intersection between comics and the discourse of healthcare'.
My design skills include using InDesign, Photoshop & Canva.
Please get in touch to discuss any illustration. visual identity, creative writing or graphic narrative projects.

GRAPHIC NARRATIVE
I've created narrative storytelling with images and text. For example, Cosmic Placentas, below, that charts the physiological, spiritual and cultural significance of the placenta. Images were exhibited in the Discerning Eye Exhibition in London and illustrate a chapter written I've authored in the forthcoming title Mothers, Myth and Mythos: maternal narrative knowing, edited by Alys Einion and Rachael Williams, published by Demeter Press.
Graphic Collaboration
I've collaborated, as writer, with cartoonist Lilly Williams to create the book Pregnancy and Birth: A Graphic Guide, published by Icon Books. In a review on Graphic Medicine's website the book was described as 'one of the most comprehensive, inclusive, and visually engaging guides to pregnancy and childbirth published in recent years' by Dr Laboni Das.
I'm interested in collaborating with other artists and writers on graphic novel projects, either as illustrator, writer or designer.

GRAPHIC MEMOIR
Below are some sample pages from my forthcoming graphic memoir Scar Tissue., where I have created all elements., text, images and design. The book explores the story of my life through twelve scars or scarrings on my body.
This project is supported by an Arts Council 'Develop Your Creative Practice' award and a JLF 'Genesis' Emerging Writers Fellowship.
ILLUSTRATED BOOKS
I can provide illustrations and visual motifs for a range of publications.
I created the Maternal Journal Book - a highly illustrated book - a creative guide to journaling through pregnancy, birth and beyond. It was co-written with Samantha McGowan and features many original illustrations.
VISUAL IDENTITY AND LOGOS
I'm really happy to work to a brief and in creative collaboration to create visual identity and logos for individuals and organisations.
