Once upon a time...

In a world of dark enchantment, where Yarrow and Foxglove danced upon the breeze, and animals spoke of magic and mystery

there lived a fox-girl whose soul yearned for the wild, dark and deep... 

I am Nightshade, an artist, poet and writer influenced by fairy tales,  the natural world, and the darker folklore of plants and animals which have held me in haunted captivation since I was a child..
 

My illustrations lament an increasingly disenchanted world which has forgotten the wild, dark and deep, and hints at the ways in which to regain that connection through stories and fantasy, showing animals and plants through a shadowy mythical lens.


With a delicate combination of watercolour, acrylic, ballpoint and fineliner I illustrate the curious creatures and plants which can be found at the edges of this world and the other, capturing their haunting beauty and strangeness with a dash of the whimsical. 

 

Welcome to The Pink Fox Herbarium, a place of magic, mystery and fairy tales, where all the half-remembered stories from your childhood come alive.
