CREATIVE STATEMENT
I have always loved books and drawing. My interest in children’s book illustration began when I was at art school. Where I discovered that my colourful, playful work was suited to this genre of illustration.
Over the past 15 years working as an illustrator my expertise in children’s books has developed due to the many, many books I have had the pleasure of illustrating. I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with some wonderful publishers worldwide. I aim to approach every project with enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail. I love creating characters, and illustrations for non-fiction.
