My name is Michelle and I am a freelance illustrator based in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

 

I work across analogue and digital mediums, specialising in small-scale, detailed pencil drawings and ​enjoy using visual metaphor, wordplay and anthropomorphism, evident in my greeting cards - the foundation of my practice. 

​

In addition to designing cards and gifts, I love writing and illustrating poetry, and am passionate about creating SEND resources for children and children's book illustration.

​

Designing the cover for Dr Joan van den Brink's incredible book, The 3 Companions - stories of courage, compassion and wisdom, gave me the courage to pursue my passion and begin studying my Illustration MA with Falmouth University which I completed in April 2025.

​​

Through my creative practice, I conscientiously produce meaningful work that encourages connection and contributes positively to the communities within which it takes part, bringing in elements of spiritual philosophy and practice, that I have personally found helpful and wish to share with others.
