Topiary Rabbit, 2020

I made a series of collages about topiary animals after reading Stephen King's "The Shining". The animals are decorated with objects and symbols that relate to their habits and representation in popular culture.

Flag, 2020

A flag design about working together and keeping each other safe.

As an editorial illustrator, I aim to create eye-catching illustrations that communicate complex ideas and concepts. I enjoy creative problem solving-determining what I want the image to say, and how to relay specific ideas. I believe that images should be in a dialogue with each viewer-allowing them to interpret and piece together the narrative themselves.

My work has been published in: The Guardian, Wired, The Globe & Mail, The Leeds Guide, The Ecologist, and New Internationalist-and I was selected for the Association of Illustrators' Images 32 Exhibition: The Best of British Contemporary Illustration.
