Polar Guide & Artist

Botanical Linework

When I’m guiding in the field, botany is one of my favourite things to speak about. Plants have such peculiar lives, and I love to capture lesser known species in pen and pigment.

Illustrated Nautical Charts

Hand-illustrated with regional wildlife and flora to mark to the voyage of a lifetime. Print sales & original works, with select availability for commission pieces.

Nature’s Textures

The high latitudes are a paradise of texture. When life is scarce, zooming in on details allows you to appreciate the tenacity of these polar organisms.

ABOUT ME

I am lucky enough to work on some of the most remote parts of our planet, with a particular fondness for the icy polar regions. My time as a guide inspires my art, which often features fauna and flora of the high latitudes. I love the opportunity to showcase natural history, and explore the ecosystem roles of Earth’s lesser-known critters in my paintings.
