Working with a broad range of techniques keeps my work fresh and enables me to respond to each project appropriately. I use whatever feels right, be that analogue or digital or combining the two. 

​

My love of illustration started a long time ago at Cambridge School of Art.

On graduating, I worked for years on many titles, until I took a career break.

I returned to Cambridge School of Art years later to study on the highly regarded MA in Children's Book Illustration. 

​

I live rural North Yorkshire, in a windswept cottage tucked down a narrow, bumpy track.

For picture books I am represented by James catchpole​
