Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and illustrator based in Stockport, specialising in oil and mixed-media works, book illustration, and film storyboarding. With a first-class honours degree in Illustration and Animation, I bring narrative clarity, strong character design, and a collaborative approach to commissions.
I have worked as a freelancer since 2004, delivering concept development and visual storytelling for books and film storyboard projects, along with fine art commissions. My theatre experience informs pacing and storytelling, supported by a disciplined, fit and healthy lifestyle that sustains long-term creative practice.
