I am an early career children’s picture book author and illustrator based in Dorset, UK. Working traditionally with as many messy materials as I can get my hands on, I love creating colourful characters and immersing myself in their world on the page. My sketchbook is my thinking space and I often feel inspired just by people watching when out and about.
Hello!
Get to know me…
Within my career as a Fine Artist, I have exhibited work in London, Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and in 2018 completed a residency at Dumfries House with The Royal Drawing School. Drawing, in its broadest sense, is an integral part of my practice; it enables me to process ideas and develop my thinking.
In 2023 I enrolled on the MA in Illustration at Arts University Bournemouth, and during that time during that time I enjoyed focusing on children’s books and developing a more colourful, painterly, and playful visual language.
Based in Dorset, UK, I live with my husband and work from my home studio in our garden. When I’m not in my studio I love to snuggle up with a good book, bake a cake or go for long walks with my husband by the sea or in the New Forest (taking my sketchbook with me!) I also sing in a local choir which brings me great joy and is a fab stress buster!
I am currently seeking agency representation with a view to be commissioned for picture books. Please get in touch if you’re interested in working with me.
