A smiling woman with long brown hair wearing a red and white striped shirt, holding a white mug, surrounded by colorful, painted tropical leaves and plants on a wall background.

I live on the Kent coast, where I create dynamic, unique illustrations filled with personality in my home studio. I mostly use traditional media but mix it up with some digital techniques. I mainly illustrate for books, but am currently working on illustrations for licensing on a variety of products.

Interior of an antique shop filled with various decorative items, furniture, and artwork. An elderly woman with curly white hair, glasses, and a blue scarf is looking at items on a wooden cabinet. A young girl with brown hair, wearing an orange jacket, is holding a small item and smiling. A person is sitting outside the shop reading a newspaper. The shop has open green double doors, revealing a checkered black-and-white tiled floor outside and a stone pathway.

My playful characters and detailed backgrounds are a feast for the eyes. This piece attracted the attention of the judges of the World Illustration awards in 2023 and made it firmly to the shortlist.
