About Me

I am a London-based illustrator with a background in fine art and science illustration. My work ranges from depictions of hand-carved objects collected by explorers in the early 1900s to cutting-edge medical devices, and has appeared in such diverse settings as The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and the V&A Museum in London. It has been published by Cambridge University Press, Springer-Verlag, and The Journal of the American College of Surgeons, among others.

My current body of work is an experimental approach to illustration, creating installations around themes of time, erosion, and belief systems within the museum environment to question hierarchies of knowledge and power.
