Illuminator  ·  Wildlife artist  ·  Calligrapher  ·  Tutor

Welcome!

 

I’m one of the few remaining professional illuminators now

practising this endangered craft in the UK.

I teach internationally and am currently illuminator at Lincoln Cathedral.

I create new work using traditional techniques and hand prepared, exquisite natural materials. These include mineral and earth pigments, plant pigments from my garden, traditional handcrafted inks, vellum, 24 carat gold leaf, oak panels and gemstones such as sapphires and pearls. Whilst I specialise in manuscript illumination I also draw with metalpoint and paint in egg tempera.

2019 / 2020 workshops took place in the UK, Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore.

Sadly my workshops in Italy, South Korea and Washington DC were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
