Bees, Horses, Birds, British Wildlife & Countryside animals
Welcome
Welcome to my cosy studio; home to cherished animals and flowers to be found up and down the country in British wildlife habitats, garden, countryside and woodland spaces. Here you will find tasty fruits and vegetables from the garden and nuts and berries from along the hedgerow - treats for us as well as the animals, birds and bees!
Take your time to wander over this small patch of illustrated garden and countryside.

I have written a children's nature book series, about a garden bird, the first version of which was published in 2022. I am currently working on a revised edition as well as compiling a beautiful book about the garden.
Last year I illustrated a beautiful children's book about a honey bee on her foraging adventures across the countryside, conceptualised and written by Valerie Rhenius, which was launched in October 2023 at the National Honey Show centenary event that was attended by HRH Princess Royal and the Queen's Beekeepers!
