I grew up in the midlands where I had an enormous garden to lose myself in, which I often did. After many years working in educational publishing, I recently completed a Masters Degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and my first picture book “ The After Christmas Tree” is published by Scallywag Press in Oct 2020.

I am represented by Emily Talbot at United Agents

I now live in South Devon, UK  where I enjoy printmaking, observational drawing and apologising for my dog’s ridiculous behaviour.
