Embrace the mess. Illustration from the book We are the Ark by #maryreynolds
There is beauty and strength in wild energy, its something unpredictable and magical. I've tried to show that in this illustration. (There are a few prints of this available if you message my website..)

This illustration from the book is self explanatory. But , who knew the sheer scale of diverse life one humble nettle supports. Nuture your nettles don't chop them down , they are heroic and important. This is also an example how illustrating does require a lot of research, you learn so many things.

Little nature spirits. @letsbuildanark
This illustration originated from a large tub of pansys that a friend left outside my door, the woolly bears were an addition from childhood , I remember watching them with my mother who is a horticulturalist. I like the communication that happens between different creatures and elements as the illustration evolves and reveals itself. It creates a whole world we can relate to and connects us to nature. Emphasises our part within the whole.

Buttercup Lizards. I'm going talk about what's it

Buttercup Lizards. I'm going talk about what's it like to illustrate a book. With this book 'We Are The Ark' I was lucky, there is a big element of trust between myself and Mary Reynolds so I can basically let my imagination go. Here we have a connection, between humans and nature in the form of lizards. Its so inspiring to really study the patterns in nature. I never set out with a set idea at all. Nothing is planned it just evolves as I work from a small spark. There in lies the magic, the unexpected and the joy.
