ABOUT

I was delighted to work with English National Ballet recently, creating an immersive, layered illustration for their magical production of My First Ballet: Cinderella - a show specially adapted for children aged 3+.

The production presents the classic story from a fresh perspective, with a nature-loving Cinderella who lives on the edge of an enchanted forest, where she once gardened and sang with her mother. After loss and silence settle over her home, she’s left with a sharp-tongued stepmother, two noisy stepsisters, and a house full of chores and shadows. But when a letter arrives, inviting all to a Garden Ball, Cinderella’s journey to find her true self begins - guided by the spirit of her mother and the magic of the forest.

Used across advertising, publicity, and merchandise, the intricate papercut-style illustration needed to capture the story’s magical, timeless spirit while remaining flexible across a range of formats.
