My MA Illustration studies explored the power of illustration to encourage and promote nature connection. Studies show that raising raising our feelings of connection with nature can improve wellbeing, reduce stress, and lead to more environmentally-friendly behaviours.

This poster series focuses on using the senses as a pathway to nature connection. Handmade textures, overlapping colours and hand-drawn typography create tactile, welcoming images showing the rich sensory experience that comes from simple activities and moments spent with nature. The large scale, modern colour palette and handmade elements stand out to a young audience in a world of technology.
