Hello and welcome to my website. I am a freelance illustrator and work
from home in Surrey, which I share with my family (the home that is
not the work, although that is debatable).

With over 12 years experience in children's publishing, whether a book,
game, greetings card or children's art, I think of each project as 'living'.
Word gets out and 'little characters' start turning up, usually on scraps
of paper and not in the sketch pad bought for the purpose.

I've always had a passion for drawing and was lucky enough to study
graphic design and illustration in South Africa. Life then took me to
Switzerland where I worked mainly in advertising for a number of years.

I love illustrating children's books, the way the characters come to life,
the challenges of keeping everything fresh, the wonders of colour
and the great people I work with. So if you'd like to commission me
do get in touch either by phone or email.

Clients include: Caterpillar Books Ltd, Templar, Scholastic, Emma Treehouse,
Cowley-Robinson, OUP, Robert Frederick Ltd, Piggy Toes Press USA, Smartink USA,
Carlton Cards, NSPCC, Girlguides UK, Ravensburger and so on....
