Bringing your story to life:

Artistic Journey:

I have the privilege of working in the lovely world of book authors, a process that is often a truly unique and inspiring journey. Whilst many of the titles are Children's books, I can find myself lead along a varied range of genres and remain ever open to expanding my horizons.

I have always been more of a visual thinker, having enjoyed exploring and making art since discovering potato printing was much more fun than maths. But it was a little later in life before I earned a distinction with an 'Illustrating Children's Books' Diploma, from London Art College, which led to becoming a freelance illustrator. I have now worked on many books and commissions over the last few years and have recently expanded my toolbox from the traditional watercolour and acrylics, to encompass working with a tablet and stylus which has been fantastic.

My art is very often inspired by the fields and trees I look out upon. I particularly love to portray animals and birds, reflecting both stylised and quirky or when called for, more realistic images to work either as a commission or within the imaginings of an author’s story.

If you are a budding author of a book and are looking to have your ideas brought to life, please get in touch - a first conversation costs nothing and it might just lead to a great collaboration. I try to make my pricing range realistic and each job tends to be unique so price will become clearer when we talk.
