One of my favourite pieces from last year - inspired by those "when I say I'm built like a goddess..." memes. I like to think of her as a version of Inanna ✨

I'm trying to get better at painting rocks 😅

Crop of sketches from my most recent life drawing session - decided to really lean into the shadows as the lighting was hella dramatic and the model was killing the dynamic poses. Pretty pleased with how these turned out!

Another oldie and one I'll probably redo at some point - I'm *obsessed* with these antler-clad queens whom I'd spot at various Pride marches when I lived in Bristol. This portrait doesn't do them justice but was fun to draw! ✨

Selection of poses from an August life drawing session - markers have definitely helped me get braver with colour this year!

Sketch inspired by a friend - as much as some of the details frustrate me (proportions that aren't right etc) I still like the movement of the fabric, the rope impression on her leg and how the shadows are rendered.

Saturdays are for dancing naked around your living room 💛

Still working on getting dynamic poses right, but I think this does begin to capture the bliss of existing freely in your body and your own space.

Little watercolour sketch from 2024, based on those gorgeous photos of Hedy Lamarr and her star-patterned gown in "Ziegfeld Girl" ✨

Here she is over on Cara: cara.app/post/a313867...

First post up on Cara! A sketch from an October trip to Fontainebleau - so many interesting rock formations and colours!

Art does not get easier the better you get at it.

Making art is hard. Making art is fun. Making art frustrating. Making art is passion. Making art is a lot of blood sweat and tears.

And I love every moment of the process.

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.
