Introduction “I get up every morning determined to both change the world & have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.” - E.B.White

English, 23, fantasy artist & illustrator, model finishworker, creative writer & model horse hobbyist.

Graduated 2013 from the Royal Agricultural University with a First Class Honours Degree in Equine Science.

At the end of 2014, I took a leap of faith and embarked upon a new artistic venture - WaterHorse Artistry - under which I’m now producing my original art, illustration & model finishwork. I’m an active member of the Model Horse Hobby & own a collection of approximately 200 horses, many of which compete every year on the UK show circuit.

I'm captivated by people, things & places that I find inspirational, like the multi-talented late David Bowie, the works of J.R.R.Tolkien, & all the spaces that are still truly wild in our domesticated world. I live for adventure & desire to find the traces of magic woven within the dull fabric of reality. Join me, won't you?
