My artwork is mostly inspired by Fairy Tales and my design draws inspiration from Victorian London often referred to as Steampunk. My creations can be found on products in my Redbubble store; please follow the link to have a look!

My Fairytale artwork is inspired by a magical world that I also write short stories about to go with the artwork which I plan to publish together in a book at some point in the future.

My design work is very much inspired by the Victorian era. I love the look and feel of that time although I'm very glad to be living here and now. I often have photography trips to inspiring places in historical parts of London and enjoy snapping away at intriguing details including lanterns, wrought iron gates - even trees!

Now you may be wondering how these two very different types of work combine? Well, this is where you have to use a little imagination. The people who live in this fairytale world would have clothing and home decorations with many of my designs incorporated into them. The items I create are very much a close-up and personal view of what these characters find appealing! If it helps, imagine me sitting at my desk with a sketchpad and pencil drawing away. To my right is a beverage coaster with a picture of a butterfly on it and on that coaster is a coffee mug with the very same butterfly. Now, this is where fantasy meets reality: through typing this description, I've had the idea to put my butterfly onto a matching coffee mug and coaster set. Perfect for an afternoon tea!
