My continued search for a connection to the natural world has been my recent main theme of work. I wanted to create a strong girl character and her chicken companion who explore the wilderness and find themselves generally comfortable as part of the natural world.
How were your illustrations used?
Initially, I used the illustrations for 'Folktale Week 2023' but since then they have become part of a wider narrative I am currently working on.
What materials and techniques did you use?
My work is all drawn or painted in analogue, then coloured digitally.
