Hi there! I'm Beth

I paint and knit, but mostly make a mess. :)

The Major Oak has sadly died today after living in Sherwood forest for up to 1,200 years.

I was lucky enough to visit the tree and see it's full canopy in June of 2021.

I revisited the tree last June when researching for Leftlion magazines cover illustration.

Losing this tree is something I'm sure that many will feel but it will live on through the stories, memories and art it has inspired.

Here's your first sneak peak at "Muddy Boots Brigade", a board game that teaches children about the positive impacts they can have on biodiversity. Through exploration, growing and crafting!

Can you guess which UK town inspired the game board?

This year I've decided to make my own luck!

Despite this year being a bit hectic (with lots of unknowns) I've persevered and worked on creating my own opportunities.

I've submitted artwork to different publications, entered competitions and submitted my portfolio, all to varying degrees of success. Sharing my achievements however, is something I definitely need to work on!

The incredible Tegan selected this piece for the first ever spring edition of the zine. It's a collaboration between artists, writers, poets and other creatives, and well worth a read!

From working on this zine, I met another amazing creative and have been working away on something that will hopefully be coming soon 🤞

Like many families in 2020, we hosted our very own Come Dine With Me. Complete with scoring, scandal and a cash prize!

For my dad's entry, he cooked this absolutely stunning beef wellington (without the mushrooms). Amazingly it was not a winner, but it is the dish we all still talk about 5 years later!

Reference images vs the final illustration 💚

So happy with how this turned out and would love to do more folklore inspired pieces!

Day 13 of 365.

This did not go as well as I intended at all, the paper ripped with the tape, painted sections I thought were dry bled into each other and I have no idea what is happening with that border!

However I really enjoyed the little details and I definitely learnt a lot!

Something a little bit different for day 12! A beef wellington. Not sure whether or not to add my usual water colour to this or not? What do you think?
