From painting to storytelling
Alongside my paintings, I have started exploring illustrated children’s books. My journal tells the story of beginning work on Pip and the Big Wide World, with a little dachshund setting off on an adventure. It is a personal creative direction that I am excited to keep developing.
The same things that guide my paintings matter in these stories too: family memories, animals, kindness, imagination and the feeling of discovery. Illustrations give these ideas a new home, one page at a time.
My commissions page also mentions personalised stories inspired by a child’s own family, pets or meaningful experiences. This is an emerging part of my work, not a finished instant-order product. If you have an idea, you are welcome to get in touch and talk about what might be possible.
Is Pip and the Big Wide World available to order?
The journal describes it as a book in development. Please enquire for current progress rather than assuming a published release date.
