Having decided at a very early age to be an illustrator my career
took a detour via graphic design but there’s always been
a frustrated illustrator lurking beneath the surface. I have finally
had the opportunity to put pen to paper once again and start my
own range of Cards and Prints. Magical stories like The Elves and
the Shoemaker were imbedded in my psyche when I was very small
and have had a very strong influence on my work. I enjoy experimenting
with size and proportion of everyday objects (often Retro) by dropping
characters into a remodelled ‘out of scale’ world.
The results are illustrations with a quirky, new perspective on
life that makes me, and hopefully many others, smile.
My medium is predominantly pen & ink, water colour and colour
pencil and I often digitally enhance my drawings with layers of
fabrics, prints and textures. My graphic design background has
resulted in a hawk-eyed attention to detail which has meant that
all of my cards and prints are produced to the best possible standards,
printed in the UK and are on high quality stock from sustainable
sources.
I now live in Somerset with my husband, two daughters and our
Vintage Airstream.
