‘Let the music play again’ exhibition at The Art Cohort.
Growing up with the sounds of Bob Dylan, the importance of a house filled with music was something I quickly became accustomed to. With over a year of no live music, gigs and concerts, I wanted to create an exhibition that highlights musicians and the relaunch of communal creativity in person. To make a mark and reclaim what has been stolen from musicians this last year.
‘Let the music play again’ exhibition is dedicated to David Hawkins and Dot Fraser.
Residing in the city of Bath allows me to be inspired by architecture everyday. I’m fascinated by both the simplicity and immense detail found in the form and structure of buildings.
My appreciation of architecture provides an eye opener to the diverse creativity buildings can give.
Buildings created out of continuous line drawings and layers of magazine papers. Selected illustrations have been featured in Bath Life.
Something a little different to my continuous line drawings. I love working with ink and find it quite refreshing trying new styles with my drawing. Inspired by fashion, people and music.
Jimi Hendrix, Timothee Chalet and Amy Winehouse. Continuous line portraits.
With a love for buildings and architecture, I extended my line designs onto jars. The black jars are inspired by the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire. Each of the glass jars are inspired by a city such as Paris, Bath and Milan, with line drawings of selected architecture of the city. The illustrations are all hand drawn, creating unique bespoke products.
Coloured jar designs have been featured in Bath Life Magazine.
There is no limit to creativity. I’ve found that drawing on Christmas baubles is a great way to personalise someone’s Christmas. These baubles are available to order and can be personalised with buildings of a particular city, home or iconic building.
Christmas Baubles previously featured in Bath Life Magazine.
As I love to experiment with drawing on different materials, discovering a new dynamic when using black and white on cardboard was great. I’ve used recycled cardboard from packaging, as well as off-cuts from Meticulous Ink paper sample sale.
Looking through a copy of Vogue magazine or simply watching a new film will often spark the desire to create a new drawing. A few continuous line doodles from over the years.
I love collaborating with people and I thoroughly enjoy being able to create for a variety of people, locations and sources. From being featured in Bath Life Magazine, exhibiting illustrations on the streets of Bath, to collaborating with a good friend on the release of a creative journal.
Moving to Bath in 2010 definitely sparked my love of buildings. The incredible detail within the architecture inspires me to create my own building illustrations.

A pop of pink, because why not!
