Figurative Life Drawings
In this series of life drawings, I aim to capture the feel of the human form with strong, expressive lines.
Each piece comes from my time in real-life drawing classes, where I balance movement and stillness, and let that inspire my work.
I’m especially drawn to the way the body flows, so I use bold lines to bring that energy and sensuality to the page. It's all about the physical shape, form and flow of the figures and flesh.
All works are for sale - please DM me for enquiries or visit visit the shop for those available immediately.

Shibari / Kinbaku
The word 'Shibari' came into common use in the West at some point in the 1990's to describe the Japanese bondage art 'Kinbaku'.
There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is and isn’t shibari and what the differences between the two really are.
Shibari is a Japanese word that broadly means "binding" or "tying" in most contexts, but is used in BDSM to refer to this style of intricate, decorative bondage.
As an artist, I find Shibari to be a compelling means of exploring the human form. The intricate ties and bindings create a unique opportunity to portray flesh and limbs at unusual angles, challenging traditional representations of the body. This artistic exploration provokes deeper discussions about female sexuality and compliance throughout history, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of power dynamics and the nature of desire.
