About me
I'm an illustrator based in hertfordshire, interested in working in publishing and children's books. I work predominantly with watercolour, but enjoy experimenting with digital elements. My work harmonises strong compositions with evocative colour stories, often described as nostalgic and whimsical. I am beginning a part-time MA in Children's Books and Graphic Novels, but still available for part-time freelance work.
