Here you will find my latest ideas and experiments.
I decided to practice sketching some Anemones the other night. It was late, cosy, and I was up way too late working on these! I haven’t drawn this type of flower before so I thought it would be wise to practice them before trying a full illustration. Thankfully they were really fun and satisfying to sketch out, so I’m sure they will feature in a full illustration soon!
Are there any particular flowers you would like to see me draw next?
A couple of days ago I decided to go though the saved photos on my Instagram account to refresh my memory on whose work I’ve been loving lately. I stumbled upon Heather Day’s mini sketchbook of abstract work again and suddenly felt really inspired. I had a tiny (barely filled) moleskine sketchbook hovering about and thought that would be perfect to do my own abstract experiments!

This month has been really great for me experimenting with digital collage. When I started I was feeling hugely inspired and was loving the experimental nature of the process, although I had a little creative lull in Mid-March (mostly due to slight burn out and plain ol’ procrastination) I am still feeling hugely positive about the work and am excited to see how it progresses!
In the last batch of collages I have been making more of an effort to step away from having vintage botanical images as the focus of my compositions. Instead I have been opting for creating more graphic work and utilising more photographs! I’ve really enjoyed how this has injected a bit of freshness into my work, and I am particularly fond of the ones that have a more minimalist and abstract vibe to them, this is an aesthetic I am keen to pursue right now!
