Swan bird painting oil on linen gilded with 23.5ct gold leaf Painting

I am a contemporary artist, designer and gilder, holding an MA in Illustration from Falmouth University. My creative practice focusses primarily on depicting beauty in the natural world. Through observational studies I explore plant and flower life, approaching my subjects with scientific rigour rather than romantic idealisation, to unveil the subtle complexities and dynamic forms of the imperfect perfect. My work uses gold and precious metals to create large scale luxurious and opulent original pieces, employing a style derived from classical painting and naturalist illustration techniques.
