My February collection is an exploration of the tiger; a creature that has always embodied power, mystery, strength, courage and undeniable beauty. To me, tigers are not simply animals; they are living symbols of quiet authority. They move with intention, with grace, with an awareness of their own strength. There is no need for noise or spectacle, their presence alone is enough.

Throughout history and across cultures, the tiger has represented protection, resilience and fearless spirit. In this body of work, I was drawn to that balance of ferocity and elegance, the way raw power can exist alongside softness, stillness and beauty. These pieces are a celebration of inner strength. Of instinct. Of trusting your own stripes. The tiger reminds us that courage does not always roar. Sometimes it watches. Sometimes it waits. But it always knows its power.

Drawing animals of any kind is something I'm still learning but I have challenged myself this year to push myself out of my comfort zone and to try new and more difficult things. As David Bowie once said “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

Beauty

This collection was born from the spirit of the tiger, a creature that walks between worlds. To me, the tiger is more than strength or power. It is ancient energy. It is instinct sharpened by silence. It is the quiet knowing that lives beneath the surface. There is something sacred in the way a tiger moves, deliberate, watchful, untamed. It does not ask for permission to exist. It simply is. In its gaze there is mystery; in its stillness, restrained fire. Across cultures, the tiger has long been seen as a guardian, a symbol of protection and courage, a force both feared and revered. In this collection, I was drawn to that liminal space, where beauty meets danger, where softness coexists with raw, untamed power.

These works are an invitation to reconnect with your own wild knowing. Your intuition. Your inner strength that does not need to roar to be real. The tiger reminds us that we are allowed to be powerful. Allowed to be mysterious. Allowed to take up space, even in silence.
