About Me

I was born in 1982 and grew up in Richmond, Surrey. At the age of 5, I had decided my future career as an illustrator.

In 2004 I graduated from the University of Brighton with a BA Hons in Illustration. In the last few years I have completed designs for several card companies, created illustrations for websites, T shirts and magazines as well as showing my work across the UK.

My work is fashion based often with a 1920's feel, although influences range from food, animals, humour, found images and often just pure fantasy. All my pieces have a handmade aesthetic by using a variety of materials including coloured card, paint and fabric. To maintain a certain ambiguity over the characters identities, I often represent them as silhouettes. I like my work to remain uplifting and although it sounds cheesy I like the idea that my picture has brightened up someone’s day.
