BEHIND THE ILLUSTRATIONS
The texture of Nepal.
A story of beginnings.
I developed this illustration style while studying for my master’s in graphic design. Simple shapes are drawn digitally, then layered with scanned textures from Nepali lokta paper.
The fibres, colours and variations in the handmade paper bring character to each image. In Creation, those textures become water, mountains, leaves and the creatures that fill the pages.
I began work on the book during lockdown in the UK in 2020. It became the first title in The Lokta Illustrated Bible.

The next chapter.
Adam & Eve is written and around halfway through its illustrations. Cain & Abel is also written, with most of its illustrations still to come.
