trained as an actress at The Central School of Speech and Drama, and what I loved about that time most wasn't being in front of an audience, but the visual and storytelling aspects of theatre. I've long since left the stage , but have taken those  elements of theatre into my style of storytelling and illustration. I love to begin with a traditional line, but experiment, mixing things up with digital colour and texture.

 

 I studied book illustration with Carolyn Dinan at both Putney Arts & Chelsea college of Art, and completed a writing for children course, with Mimi Thebo.

My first picture book, was Cloth Monkey, and I am currently working on an illustrated early reader and more picture book projects.

My favourite things to draw are people, and animals.
