Weave in and out of my illustration business, inspirations and latest collaborations. Join me on instagram, pinterest and facebook.

⁠One of my (many) lockdown goals was to up my ph ⁠One of my (many) lockdown goals was to up my photography game, ideally on my phone. Ideally, I'd love to be shooting my own work before sending to clients, using a quirky antique camera and editing on some jazzy software I could master. But the reality of covid/no childcare is that I quickly point and snap my illustrations with my phone and hope for the best.⁠ ⁠ I've been working with photographer and coach Ria Mishaal to figure out photographing white paper and glass, all on a phone. And the best news? It's for a online course she will be teaching later this year. If you are a creative business owner and need to develop your own skillset in this area, give Ria a follow or drop a note in the comments below and we'll make sure you receive details when the course is available. ⁠ ⁠ Photo @riamishaal / @riamishaalcoaching⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #walltowallstyle⁠ #bouquetinspo⁠ #botanicalhome⁠ #bringtheoutdoorsin⁠ #naturelover⁠ #naturelovers⁠ #underthefloralspell⁠ #flowerdrawing⁠ #botanicalart⁠ #gardenlover⁠ #floristlife⁠ #plantsplantsplants⁠ #gardenlovers⁠ #botanicalillustrator⁠ #botanicalillustration⁠ #floraldreams⁠ #excessivelydivertedbyflowers
Illustrations for florists I often hear florists Illustrations for florists I often hear florists say that they wish they could communicate fresh ideas to potential clients without having to resort to using other florists' images found on Pinterest. You need an illustrator who gets colour, species and spirit. Together, we can create speedy sketches that convey the vibe of your potential couple's floral concept without having to say "a bit like this, but without the yellow" / "a bit like this, but more meadowy". Seeing and connecting to the right visual can be the difference between confirming the booking and losing the client. And the best bit - your clients are welcome to keep my original scribbles forevermore. There will be a customer who likes all this in a digital format, but for your analogue couples who prefer to touch and experience off-screen connection, you'll need a hand drawn illustrator. Come and chat to me about how we can secure your those precious 2021 bookings. Pictured here is some recent illustration work for @fleur_provocateur . Three simple sketches featuring the brand's signature species and specifically neutral tones. It's part of founder Caroline's incredible proposal presentation box, and I'm thrilled to have these illustrations as part of the offering. With thanks to this brilliant team...

The throbbing heart of summer. An excerpt from a The throbbing heart of summer. An excerpt from a poem - "For Charlotte" - written by word conjurer Jen Feroze for her upcoming collection, The Colour of Hope (publishing autumn 2020). Jen, I'm thrilled to be included, and espexially in a poem that, in my mind, reveals itself as Where the Wild Things Are meets Gossip Girl 💚. I'll share more from the poem as we edge towards publication day. @the_colourofhope @jackdaweditorial #wordstoliveby #apoemaday #instapoem #instapoet #womenwhowrite #wordsmith #ihavethisthingwithgreen #greenliving #gardenlover #inspiredbygreen
Today, I've been tweaking the portfolio section of Today, I've been tweaking the portfolio section of my website, adding recent projects with a couple of my favourite florists. These miniatures, pictured, are part of my ongoing relationship with Italian wedding and event planners @wiskowandwhite⁠ ⁠ I can't say technology was always on my side today. There was a moment when I was messing around with large images and my screen went crazy. Each letter on the webpage went into supersized turbo mode, piled all on top of each other and the whole thing was very much doing its own thing. I've learned to walk away, look at the garden, drink water and return with the attitude of "I hope you are now feeling a bit better, Mr Computer." The zen vibes worked, and order was thankfully restored. ⁠ ⁠ I find looking a greenery immensely and immediately restorative. Maybe it's why I'm drawn to botanical illustration? I believe it's called biophilia (an innate and genetically determined affinity of human beings with the natural world - says Wiki) and therefore why we like to fill our homes with plants, flowers and botanical images. Interesting, hey?⁠ ⁠
New client work reveal... I'm delighted to share New client work reveal... I'm delighted to share a new flower care card designed exclusively for @conceptflowers as part of founder Lauren's bold rebrand. My illustration on the card pulls together some of Lauren's favourite floral species, signature composition style and new brand colour palette. The brief was to create a detailed posey that complements the simple stylised floral elements also featured throughout the redesign. So to those lucky enough to receive a bouquet by Concept, you will also receive this lovely little keepsake with flower care tip top tips.
