About Me

I have always been fascinated by the endless possibility of paper, the magical quality of light, and the wonder of the natural world. I bring all these things together by creating beautiful nature-inspired papercut lightboxes. Using only a pencil and a scalpel, I draw, then hand-cut and layer card, adding lights to create a dream-like contrast between the layers to tell a story or capture a special memory, with secret details to be found over time. Most lightboxes are A5 or A4 and are professionally framed in a bespoke box, with UV protective, anti-reflective glass. I create pieces for exhibitons, fundraisers and take on several commissions a year.

In addition to the lightboxes, I have been working on creating a series of pieces consisting of smaller cuts, around a theme, to record and celebrate the positive impact the natural environment had during the recent lockdowns. Every print that is sold raises funds for different wildlife charities.

I am passionate about wildlife conservation, especially that of Rhinos and African Wild Dog and use my art work, in addition to the prints, to support some amazing charities working in this area, including; Helping Rhinos, Save the Rhino, Endangered Wildlife Trust, Wildlife ACT and Kalahari  African Wild Dog Trust.
