Showcases

Forest Studio Shop

These works are drawn from the land, using bark paper and pigments gathered from the skin of trees. You’ll see bodies melt into roots, spines loop back, and eyes that don’t blink.
Some pieces carry words, others a pulse of colour, all leaning toward the body as landscape. Drawing made this way is magical, and holding one will protect you.

Collaborations & Studio Visits

I would love to meet! My process is slow and material-led: I forage bark, make paper works, paint by the river, and work through my complicated relationship with rest. I move between studio and landscape, allowing weather, time and the body to shape the work. I welcome studio visits, shared experiments and potential collaborations.
