Last month I had the amazing opportunity to host the AOI’s new social for Manchester illustrators.

For today’s ditty I wanted to share some snaps from my recent solo exhibition that was up at GK Gallery this summer!

I am always excited when I get to share work that I had a blast creating. I really love it when I get to create pieces for children, and a recent project came along last month which was a joy to make! I was contacted out of the blue by Emily Harwood from The Lowry, who asked if I’d be interested in creating four bespoke illustrations for the winners of their annual Creative Writing Challenge.

In 2021 I was inspired by Alice Kristiansen, an American singer-songwriter and fellow Piscean, to read The Artists Way. The book, authored by Julia Cameron, has since been on my ‘to read’ list and this year I finally dedicated myself to following the course in its entirety.
