About

Welcome to my portfolio! I graduated this year from the Norwich University of the Arts with a first in BA(Hons) Illustration. As an Illustrator originally from Vermont, I am particularly motivated by the natural world and am enthusiastic about using my art to celebrate the local farming community back home. Through my practice, I hope to promote sustainability, encapsulate New England culture, and conjure a bit of whimsy in the world. In the future, I hope to work on more nature-inspired projects!


If you would like to work on a project with me, or have any general enquiries about my practice, I would love to hear from you! Please get in touch with me via email:
