CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in illustrating children’s books began, of course, as a child. I have always loved design and after school, I went onto the London University Of The Arts to study Illustration, specialising in illustrating children’s books. My expertise in children’s book illustration has developed due to working with some amazing clients and publishers across the globe. I love nurturing great customer relations whilst creating beautiful, fun illustrations for children’s books. What I love most about creating illustrations for children’s books, is being able to tell a story, through beautiful and sensitive illustrations and to hopefully inspire both adults and children alike and if possible, to make them laugh! To maintain my skill set, I keep up to date with new technology, take regular courses to improve my techniques and just continue to draw and paint every day.
