On this page you will find illustrations made for editorial contexts. Work created for magazines and publications where the task is to translate a written story into an image.
The aim is to illuminate and clarify the text through illustration. Capturing what is central without over-explaining it. I work with clean lines and contours, using colour only where it matters most. The palette tends toward muted, pastel tones. Kept deliberately limited so nothing competes for attention.
To give the colours life and texture, I layer scanned watercolour paintings into the final illustrations, bringing the warmth and irregularity of the original medium into the work.
