Biography:

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. Since graduation I have completed designs for companies including Paperchase, as well as exhibiting at events such as the Affordable Arts Fair in Battersea and being featured in The Times.

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.
