Illustrator
I am a self-taugh illustrator who grew up in the thick forests and bustling markets of East Africa. My inspiration is the rain, the sky, and my gran who taught me to love colour.
I illustrate books, academic papers, and calendars as well paint commissions to frame and hang on your wall. Sometimes I even paint for fun. If you love wildlife, watercolours, and wanderlust you are in the right place.
As you begin to scroll down imagine it is 1830 and you are stepping aboard the Beagle with Darwin, Wallace, and I - clutching our sketchbooks, ready to capture in watercolour everything the forests and islands will throw at us!
