About

I studied Art at Loughbrough College of Art and Design . I worked in the greetings card industry before becoming interested in children's illustration. I have worked for various publishers including Scholastic, Flying Frog Publishing, Oyster Books, Small World Publishing and Parragon. I also write and illustrate my own books. I love to draw and paint characters in watercolour, bringing them to life as I do so. I often find myself pulling funny expressions when trying to draw them!
