All about me...
Hello, I graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2005, and now live and work in Bristol, UK.
I love thinking up stories and characters, sketching, and trying out colours. I love the part when they seem to come to life on my desk in front of my eyes. One of my favourite places to be is in my studio, with the radio on, a cup of tea and and pencil in my hand.
My first author/illustrator book, Scary Mary, was published in the USA by Tiger Tales in 2012, and my first picture book title with Bloomsbury Publishing, was published in 2014, called 'Little Lou and the Woolly Mammoth'.
I have the pleasure of illustrating The National Trust Family Organiser 2015, 2016 and 2017, as well as the National Trust advent calendar.
Currently I'm excited to be working on picture books with Nosy Crow and Simon & Schuster. My next book to be published is a Xmas Picture book, written by Lucy Rowland, and is publishing with Nosy Crow in September.
When I'm not drawing and painting, I can be found swing dancing, cycling or playing the piano.
