My first copy of my new book!
I am a UK based illustrator, printmaker and designer.
In 2014 I graduated from the Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University with an MA in Children's Book Illustration. I love to work with cut-paper and printmaking as well as digital media. I also enjoy the design process and creating typography for my books.
I have had six books published with Child's Play UK/US and I'm currently working on the Follow my Food series with Scallywag Press. So far all of my books have been about animals!
Animal Babies, my first board books were awarded a Kirkus star review and shortlisted for the Progressive Pre-school awards in the UK.
Rainforest, my first picture book was awarded an Outstanding Merit from Bank Street College of Education, New York’s Best Books of the Year list and was been long listed for the Cogan Biodiversity Picture Book Award 2020 in the UK.
I am an experienced college lecturer and I love to work with children and run art workshops. Please get in touch about school or bookshop visits, events or any other illustration enquiries.
