Worlds and the worlds within worlds have always captured my imagination. From the nonsensical dream worlds we try to cling to and recall when waking, to the natural world, imagined worlds and worlds that can only be seen under the lens of a microscope or from afar by a telescope. So perhaps, this is why within my own illustrations, I’m always striving to create a world filled with nature and magic. A place that is joyful, whimsical and welcoming.

I wonder too, if childhood is a world, a place, a Neverland. A chaotic place, full of not only adventure, noise and clashing colour, but also of gentleness, silent absorption and wonder.
