About

I am an emerging surface pattern designer with a passion for translating the quiet elegance of nature into intricate hand drawn patterns. The drawings I produce, are heavily inspired by the natural forms of the world. Whether that's the changing in season, flowers, leaves, birds, sunsets, or landscapes of mountains. I have always found the world so beautiful and would catch myself looking at different trees and the different directions their branches go and taking lots of photography that sparks my ideas for drawing.

Project overview

Lakeside Beauty

My Project is exploring the natural forms and beauty of the lake district in the UK. I have always been drawn to nature; it has always been the one thing that inspires me the most out of any subject or theme. Me and my family would often travel down to the lakes on cosy lodge holidays right from when I was very young to now. And I would always catch myself taking photos of the trees, flowers,​and plants I would find, to then create a drawing or painting from.
