Beautiful Art Inspired by Nature

Beautiful folksy art inspired by nature from the fields and hedgerows of Yorkshire - colourful birds and wildlife with a nostalgic floral touch...

These new illustrations mark the beginning of my next creative chapter - a return to traditional, hand-drawn art inspired by the birds and folklore of the British countryside, lovingly woven together with intricate elements of medieval-style ornament...

Art inspired by nature of the British countryside

Each piece begins as a careful study from my sketchbook and/or nature journal, drawn to capture both detail and spirit - I then carefully create each piece with pens, inks, and coloured pencils to make joyful artworks to help connect you with nature. Read more about how my artworks begin, here...

These are the first of what will become a growing collection celebrating the wildlife that surrounds us here in Britain - the animals, insects and birds who share our fields, woodlands, hedgerows, gardens, and skies.

Behind the Scenes of the Artworks

Each illustration starts in my nature journal - observing, sketching, and noting small details from walks through the local fields and woods.

I then refine these drawings into finished pieces using pens, inks, and coloured pencils, celebrating both the accuracy of nature and the joy of my imagination.

I start my drawing with fine-liner pens
