About

Bringing stories to life…

through drawing, pen and ink, a never ending sense of curiosity, lots of observation and a just bit of mischief!

In my work I look to celebrate and explore ideas, people and behaviour.

Drawing from life, responding to events, what I see, words, objects, emotions and my imagination I create work for print, publishing, design, newspapers, museums, site specific projects, exhibitions, advertising, digital media, film, animation and theatre.

I have been working as an illustrator for eight years. Before then I worked as an art director and creative director in design and digital media, co-founder of Breakfast Creatives.

I teach illustration part time at York St. John University and regularly give talks and workshops across all ages.
