I was absolutely over the moon to get to illustrate this years Christmas RTÉ Guide 🎄✨

Christmas is one of my favorite things to paint, the cosiness, the warmth and magic of it all is exactly what I love to bring to my illustrations.

Huge thanks to Catherine and all at The RTÉ Guide 💛

I think this spread is my favourite from the book. Wandering among the woods while the sun dapples through the leaves is my favourite place to be.
