As part of my project on Visual Narrative, I explored the docklands of London, this led my to discover a variety of lost stories about a hamlet called Ratclif during the early Victorian era. My final project resulted in a series of etchings, all drawn and printed myself, which were displayed on a concertina to emphasise that they could be view as part of a whole story but also individually.

A Brochure piece created for a Museum Gallery, the brief was to create a map that linked three sites together and encouraged visitors to go to all three.

I love Samurai, so this was something I drew just for fun, I really experimented with coloured line art in this drawing.

These two pieces hold sentimental value as they picture a special place. I wanted to reflect the excitement and turbulence of a new relationship in the movement of the picture.

It’s good to practise something new, so as to develop my landscapes I have done a few studies. This one is of a Japanese garden and similar to the style of my most recent pieces I have tried to keep the colour simple.
I wanted this piece to be well balanced and calm.

Aptly named after the ‘Ave Maria’ opera singer Maria Callas, a mix of feminism and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
‘Sensei Splinter’

I’ve been inspired by the rebirth of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, loving the new art so I’ve created a few pieces myself.
