Between the 1st and 12th of October, ‘Wild Lines’ took shape within the light-filled gallery of Walford Mill in Wimborne, Dorset. The exhibition brought together a new body of work, celebrating British wildlife through a pen and ink lens. These intricate works showcase the beauty and character of those living alongside us, from the small and often overlooked to iconic characters of the British countryside.
The collection emerged from time spent wandering the Dorset countryside, where I’ve been fortunate to encounter a remarkable variety of wildlife. By lingering a little longer in their presence, the subtle quirks and quiet personalities of these animals begin to reveal themselves. Through each piece, I wanted to capture not only their form but their spirit, inviting others to rediscover their own connection to the living landscape we share. My hope is that this work inspires people to step outside, slow down and experience the wonders of nature for themselves.
