CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in illustrating children’s books began when I was a child, drawing little pictures in the margins of my school exercise books. I now specialize in pre-school and non-fiction books and have had work regularly published in a variety of publications. My style has developed over the years, influenced by mid-century and Scandinavian art. I love to create fun, colourful and imaginative illustrations that engage a child, often adding interesting details for them to discover.
