specialising in the history, folklore ​and wildlife of the british isles

Using a combination of ​in-depth research and ​imagination, I create ​vibrant compositions ​that bring stories and ​information to life.

I typically use liquid chalk pens so that I can work quickly, straight onto the wall surface. I conduct careful research to ​ensure I use appropriate period costume, objects and buildings in my artworks, at times working from reproductions of ​historical material, adapted to suit the client’s requirements. I can also compose explanatory text, and am experienced in ​typography and hand lettering.

I’ve been creating interior murals for commercial clients for the last 13 years. I have over the course of this time gained ​experience working as part of a shopfitting team, and also working in open venues around customers.

I am an accredited Safe Contractor certified by Alcumus and can provide risk assessment plans for clients on request.

Please get in touch to discuss projects, commissions and for more information on quotes and rates.

By using a combination of historical visual reference, preparatory research and imagination, the artworks are planned ou​t in washable pencil and then painted in using liquid chalk pens, a fairly quick-drying medium which enables vi​brant images to be built up in layers straight onto the wall surface.

Some artwo​rks, such as the scene shown above depicting Daniel Defoe alighting from a coach, utilise visual research for approp​riate period costumes and buildings to create a unique composition, whilst others, such as the 18th Century birds eye ​view of Chepstow, reproduce historical images on an expanded or simplified scale; in this case a 1705 drawing by Johanne​s Kip.
