I am a multicultural, autistic, queer illustrator based in Norwich, United Kingdom. My practice revolves around reportage-based illustrations using my lived experiences. I am interested in nature, journeys and the passage of time, in the context of the mundane. I explore these themes in my work in the form of visual journals and documentation.

 

A sketchbook spread of the footpath with surrounding tree branches that make it look like a natural tunnel. The scene is mainly brown swift lines of tree branches, with swirly lines making up green ivy. The path is reddish orange on the edges and disappears in the far distance.

I am interested in unconventional styles of drawing, with a focus on experimental traditional mark making in both styles and medium.

I work intuitively with immersion and aim to bring experience onto paper using the five senses to express sensory qualities, bringing depth to the visual.

A sketchbook spread of a street scene next to the road. A line of cars is parked next to it and lead the eye to the plants and trees further away. The houses and cars are drawn with a few simple strokes while the trees and plants are in full detail.

I value nature and take part in nature conservation volunteering led by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and aim to use my art to aid their outreach programme for nature conservation.

 

 

A piece of textured watercolour paper showing a brilliantly blue sky with different textures and shades left by running water. A distant tree line and the walking path leading to it reveal a bench at the bottom. The muddy green and browns of the area contrast the blue sky starkly.

My graduation project is a visual document of a walking journey from Dereham Road to Sweet Briar Marshes nature reserve in the format of a concertina book.

A piece of textured watercolour paper showing a cow in open nature space with muddy brown, green, and purple. The cow is painted in the negative using the surrounding landscape, with free-flowing sketches for details and shading. The same sketchiness is used for a tree right behind it and further away.
A sketchbook spread with a bookmark ribbon. There are water marks all over that blur the messy brown sketches of cows. The handwritten black ink scribbles in Mandarin and English have also drenched sections on both pages.
