I am a London based Illustrator passionate about recording the world in all its lovely detail. Tom Waits apparently once said that the job of creativity is to provide decorations for the mind – a form of cerebral jewellery.

Whenever possible, I try to honour this idea in my work. I am currently completing my second year Postgraduate in Medical Art with the Medical Art Education Trust. I hold the post of Artist in Residence at The Harley Street Hospital in London and for the last six years have worked at the House of Illustration as an illustrator and arts educator.

Previous clients include Great Ormond Street Hospital, Wellcome Trust, Royal Free Hospital, Stafford County Hospital, British Institute of Radiology, British Library, Design Museum and Bloomsbury books. My work has been exhibited at the British Library, The Hunterian Museum of Surgery and has won international awards.

I am currently trainee surgeon and anatomy demonstrator based in London. I have a special interest in anatomy drawing, and educating students through the medium of drawing. My favourite medium is pen or pencil (line drawing) and oil painting. The MAET had provided me a great opportunity to acquire a wider range of illustrative skills that I can adopt for future illustration work in publications or textbooks. The part-time and flexible nature of the course allows me to continue my clinical work. The staff on the course is approachable and friendly, and highly skilled. It is a great privileged to be enrolled onto this course. The annual medical artist association (MAA) meeting provides you a great opportunity to network, as well as, chances to showcase your own work. I hope to achieve my MMAA (membership of medical artist association) and RMIP (registered medical illustration practitioner) on completion of this course in coming years.
