Summer Brights for Bloom & Wild
I’ve entered Bloom & Wild Outside the Box competition. The brief is to design packaging for their floral letter boxes and the theme is Summer Brights.🤞🏻 My idea and moodboard is inspired by a family holiday to Santa Barbara last summer. Each year, the heart and soul of the Santa Barbara community celebrates the “Old Spanish Days Fiesta.” The spirit of community celebrates and brings to life the shared history and culture of the special community of Santa Barbara. I would li

Autumn is here!
The last few months have been really busy! We moved house at the end of the summer school holidays and I've also been creating new work when not unpacking boxes!! I've really been enjoying combining my hand painted work with digital, using Procreate on my iPad Pro. I resisted drawing on a screen for so long because I thought it was a 'cop out' but I love it now because it eliminates so many extra time consuming steps in the creating process and I can take my iPad anywhere! I

Garden Journal and Planner
I recently visited the Frida Kahlo exhibition at London's V&A museum. I was so inspired by her paintings, clothing, house and artefacts that I created a moodboard for a Gardener's Journal cover. #gardenjournalgardenplanner #floral #flowers #japaneseanemones #staghornfern #fridakahlo #lucindakidney #editorialillustration #botanicalillustration #greige

Illustrated Family History
I have been researching my family history on and off for a number of years. Earlier this year I thought it would be lovely to illustrate my research as a tribute to my ancestors and also as a visual keepsake for our children.
I hand painted Selmar's portrait and the flowers. The handwriting and signature is his actual handwriting which I discovered in his Botany Text Books and a Notebook on a recent visit to South Africa. The newspaper clipping was also found pasted inside

The 100 Day Project
I've decided to participate in the 100 day project which started on April 3rd. When it began my family and I were in the South African bush going on game drives and wi-fi was limited so I haven't really been able to get stuck into it properly. I'd like to use this project to continue developing my hand drawing and digital skills. I love to draw by hand and then use Adobe Photoshop to polish my work for editorial print. Here are a few of my illustrations so far. If you like, y

Lumberjack Hipsters
I can't believe another month is almost over which means the April MATS Bootcamp assignment has been completed and uploaded to the gallery. I have to admit that when I read that the mini assignment was to draw Lumberjacks I didn't feel very enthusiastic! It took me a few days to get into the flow and once I started researching the theme I discovered that Hipsters are very much like Lumberjacks in appearance! Once I began drawing bearded blokes I realised my drawings were look
