ABOUT ME

Hello! I am an author and illustrator based in the north east of England in historic Durham City. After being a landscape artist for many years, I changed my artistic focus to writing and illustration when I had my two girls Nina and Zara. Their positive outlook on life is so refreshing and their boundless energy keeps me on my toes. They are also perfect sounding boards for my latest stories and illustrations and their feedback is as honest as it gets.
​
I recently completed an MA in Illustration and my academic focus was gender stereotypes in children's literature, focusing particularly on the representation of women and girls.
I write and illustrate children's books from picture books to chapter books and middle grade. I also undertake illustration projects for corporate clients including live illustration of events and creation of presentations that tell a story.
