She has followed a meandering path to find her way to a career in illustration and she’s overjoyed to share her love of nature through painting.

Tim Gough/Dirty Hands Studio
Dirty Hands is a creative studio led by Tim Gough. The name Dirty Hands speaks to my approach and a larger point of view I hold as a creative. Generally, that creating anything of value takes real work. My ethos is that creativity is elusive, and to hone that craft one should Keep Making Stuff. Keep Doing Things. The work you see here results from collaboration with a collection of like-minded folks who are trying to get radical. When not doodling, Tim can be found building brands with the folks at Truth & Consequences.
