Illustration inspired by ‘Miniatures’ poem by Simon Armitage
I work in a variety of different mediums: drawing, 3D crafts and ceramics. I love to combine digital and traditional techniques, as well as experimenting with printmaking, to create work that often produces surprising and lively results. My main strengths are in using colour, pattern and texture.
