About

I am fascinated by the power of imagination and storytelling. It drives me to create compelling and beguiling images with an open narrative at their heart. I love communicating through pictures by bringing together colour, text and location. My professional work is inspired by travel, conversation and beautiful things and I love the illustrators challenge of finding innovative solutions to communicating visually. My first book for children Fantastical Flying machines, was published by Macmillan Children’s books in 2010.
