An illustrator in the Lake District. I love drawing, making and being creative. I moved to Cumbria in 2018 and it was one of the best decisions of my adult life. I’m so happy and inspired living here. I get to swim dunk in ice cold water and walk the fells. I live at the top of a steep cobbled hill which means I’m rewarded by a beautiful view across Kendal. It’s a pretty great place to bring up kids too. Just before bed last night my boys spotted bats hunting for insects by our window and come May we’ll get to watch the Swifts dancing as they raise their chicks in the eaves of our home.

On the doorstep I’ve a constant source of inspiration for illustration and painting. I’m fortunate to work on some inspiring commissions and businesses alongside working on my own passion projects. You can read a little more about my approach here. Below are a few of my favourite local spot inspired images – Gurnal Dubs swim spot, Scout Scar and the Windermere Jetty Museum.

Gurnal Dubs my favourite local swim spot in The Lake District, Cumbria.
