About

I am a Midlands-based UK artist and illustrator. I have a Master’s degree in illustration from Hertfordshire University. I work predominantly in Procreate and Photoshop, as well as with watercolour and acrylic paints. Companies that have used my artwork are Huffington Post, Wave Life Sciences, and ADP-Hypnotherapy, to name just a few. I have illustrated children’s books for various authors, and have also written and illustrated my own books. My work is natural and spontaneous, scratchy and free. Inspired by Quentin Blake, Tony Ross, Dr. Seuss and Mark Beech.
