About

I am a illustrator from Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Everyday things from my childhood inspire me the most, like shopping trips, birthday parties, building dens and days out at the seaside. Sometimes just a familiar sound, smell or object can inspire a whole world of pictures in my head, that i just have to draw. I love to create my own little worlds full of fun, adventure with sentiment, but with out being sentimental – a dash of nostalgia and humor go a long way too.

I like to think there is always something new to discover and I am never short of ideas. Through my own 2 children I get to peek into their worlds and find new adventures.

When I’m not creating I like to rummage around the children book section at Salts Mill -Bradford, ( I have a lovely collection of picture books new & old) bake cakes (which i dutifully scoff)  and am soon begin work on our new little allotment. I also like vintage fairs and train journeys.

Hope you enjoy looking at my work. Please feel free to get in touch. Details on the contact page.
