AUSTRALIA & BALI (2024)
Through January and February 2024, I travelled around Australia and Bali with my partner and aimed to capture as much as possible from that incredible experience through illustrations.
We flew first to Sydney, spending a few days in the busy city exploring all of the hotspots. We then picked up a hire campervan which would be our home for the next 2 weeks as we drove up the East Coast. Stopping at beaches and rainforests, staying on rural campsites, swimming in waterfalls, seeing incredible wild animals, and exploring a little further afield to islands via boat. We then returned our rented van once we reach Cairns, and flew to Perth in West Australia for a week. We ended the trip with 2 weeks in Bali before returning to the UK.

RIO (2023)
In February 2023, I visited Rio for 2 weeks to immerse myself in Latin American culture during Carnival season (a bucket list experience!) I was pretty absorbed by partying and just taking the whole experience in, that I didn’t dedicate a huge amount of time to drawing. I also was still pretty new to Procreate during this time, so didn’t quite capture as much as I’d have liked, but definitely have memories and inspiration to last a lifetime.
