The Studio
…is open!
This is where my drawings, observations and slightly unruly collection of ideas find their way into the world.
In the Collections shop, you’ll find illustrated prints, paper treasures, thoughtful digital companions and original pieces created to celebrate the beautifully ordinary moments that often pass us by, but somehow stay with us.
The Studio will continue to grow, one thoughtful piece at a time. There are more illustrations, books, collaborations and paper treasures quietly taking shape behind the scenes.
Do come back soon. There is always something on the drawing board.
Coming to the Studio this November…
I’ll also be hosting a two-part illustration workshop in November. A gentle, creative opportunity to explore drawing, storytelling and how the smallest observations can bring an illustration to life.

Christmas commissions are now open!
This Christmas, I’m opening just 10 spaces for bespoke A4 and A3 pen-and-ink illustrations.
Each commission is created from your photographs, stories and the tiny details that make a person or place feel unmistakably yours. I can bring together family members, pets, homes, gardens and memories from several different images to create one completely original composition.
You can also add a Story Visit if you’re local to Somerset or Dorset. I’ll come to you, look through photographs and meaningful objects, notice the character of your home or garden, and talk through the story and composition with you.
Please reserve your commission by 15 November for Christmas.
A4 Bespoke Christmas Illustration
An original A4 pen-and-ink illustration, created by hand from your photographs, memories and stories.
Your illustration might capture a family gathered at home, a favourite corner of the garden, a much-loved pet or several separate memories brought together into one imagined scene.
Rather than creating a formal portrait or exact architectural drawing, I look for the little things that make the picture feel truly personal: a favourite jumper, the chair someone always chooses, a particular plant, a treasured toy or the position in which the dog invariably falls asleep.
A4 is a lovely size for an intimate family scene, a favourite room or garden, or a carefully composed collection of people, pets and meaningful details.
Your commission includes
One original A4 pen-and-ink illustration
A unique composition created from your photographs and stories
One principal home, garden or setting
Up to six people or pets
A signed, unframed original
Confirmation of the creative brief before drawing begins
UK tracked delivery included
How it works
Purchasing this product reserves one of my limited Christmas commission spaces.
After placing your order, please complete the commission form using the link below. This will tell me about the people, place and tiny details you would like me to capture.
You can then send your reference photographs separately by email or WhatsApp, clearly including your name and order number.
Once I have received everything, I’ll review your ideas, ask any final questions and confirm the creative brief before beginning your artwork.
Because each piece is drawn by hand in pen and ink, significant alterations cannot be made once the final drawing has begun.
Before ordering
This commission is designed around one family or household story and one principal setting.
If you would like to include more than six people or pets, several buildings or an especially detailed scene, please contact me before ordering so that I can advise on the most suitable option.
Your artwork is supplied unframed, with careful packaging and UK tracked delivery included. Collection from Castle Cary or Sherborne can also be arranged.
Christmas commissions are strictly limited and will close when all available spaces have been filled.
Christmas commissions close on Sunday 15 November 2026, or sooner if all ten available spaces have been reserved.
Please complete your commission form and send your reference photographs within five days of ordering. Finished artwork will be ready for tracked UK delivery or collection by Monday 14 December.
new!
A larger original pen-and-ink illustration, created by hand from your photographs, memories and stories.
Your artwork might bring together a family in their favourite place, capture a much-loved home and garden, or combine people, pets, objects and memories from several different photographs into one imaginative scene.
I look for the little things that make a person or place feel familiar: the way someone sits, the clothes they always wear, the flowers beside the back door, a favourite book, a child’s treasured toy or the cat watching everything from its usual position.
The additional space of A3 allows more room for storytelling, making it particularly suited to fuller family scenes, homes, gardens and pieces with several layers of meaningful detail.
Your commission includes
One original A3 pen-and-ink illustration
A unique composition created from your photographs and stories
One principal home, garden or setting
Up to six people or pets
Additional space for objects, plants and personal details
A signed, unframed original
Confirmation of the creative brief before drawing begins
