Selected

Botanicals

A selected collection of botanical illustrations I've drawn across various client commissions — a working portfolio view rather than a single project.

Botanical illustration runs as a continuous thread through my practice, commissioned for editorial magazines, rose breeders, restaurant groups and luxury publishers. I work in pen and ink from reference and close observation, using stippling and cross-hatching to capture the texture of leaves and petals in every detail. The drawings gathered here sit alongside work like the Telegraph Luxury Sustainability botanicals and the David Austin English Rose studies.

Botanicals remain the most consistent subject in my work and recur often enough to warrant their own collected view.
