The origins of words, their meanings and the associations they evoke.
Words with meaning
I love exploring where words come from and pairing them with illustrations, always with a touch of humour: the kind that makes you smile and think at the same time. Words with meaning grew partly out of that.
Every word has its own history. In many illustrations, I also give a nod to women, especially those whom history has left in the background.
