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.
If you'd like to work with me, please get in touch.
