Prompted by the brief for The Kelpies’ Illustration prize 2026, these illustrations depict a narrative of what it’s like to experience a ‘beautiful day’ or ‘cosy night’ in Scotland, inspired by my own expereinces of growing up in Scotland.

You Don’t Give to Get
Watercolour ink and coloured pencil on paper, 2026
For Agora’s International Women’s Day Exhibition 2026. Inspired by the prompt “give to gain”. The phrase reminded me of the contradictory “you don’t give to get!” I was taught as a child. It made me think of Queer intimacy and the concept of ‘giving’ to indulge in another person’s pleasure. I believe representing authentic and healthy representation of sexuality as a Queer woman is magical and important.
