I graduated from Bradford School of Art & Design in 1997. My work has been published in numerous children's books and broadcast on the BBC after I was commissioned to write and illustrate stories for their Cbeebies channel.

In 2019 I went  back to school to do a masters degree in illustration at the University of Gloucestershire. The course gave me the space to experiment and develop new ways of working. It was a joy to have the freedom to concentrate more on creative process rather than outcome and I have carried this philosophy onwards into the artwork I am producing now. 

My work communicates the extraordinary in the ordinary, the small things that are really the big things in life: interactions with family, friends and the creatures we share our lives and planet with.

 

My other love is music - especially the classical guitar - so I am thrilled that my work has been used on album covers for several musicians.

I've collaborated with the Canadian based musician and composer David Carroll producing images to accompany his alternative folk composition The Daghda's Harp. It is based on a tale from Irish mythology. This has been followed by another project with David -  Pangur Bán based on a ninth century Irish poem about a monk and his cat.

I have also recently produced artwork for pianist and composer Alexander Grenville for his latest release ‘Snowfall’.

 

I'm  available for painting and illustration commissions and always love to hear from musicians interested in collaborative projects. Do get in touch!
