About Me

I am a Cotswolds based illustrator and art tutor. I have been freelance since 2005, working for countless clients including The National Trust, Scholastic, Oxford University Press, HarperCollins, Hachette, Horrible Science Magazine and Galt Toys.

I’ve loved to draw for as long as I can remember. At school I would illustrate everything, whatever the subject. From chemistry diagrams to trigonometry triangles, I would always focus on the pictures.

I teach beginners drawing, life drawing, watercolours acrylic painting and printmaking. I consider drawing to be the fundamental skill that underpins all art, so my classes have an emphasis on it. I also like to get out and about doing events and workshops for both adults and children at schools, community events and festivals.

I love being outside and the natural world is a big part of my life, so this features heavily in both my teaching and my own work. I love living and working in the heart of the Cotswolds, in Winchcombe, near Cheltenham.

Please get in touch if you’d like more information on classes or would like to chat about possible commissions or workshops. I’m always happy to help and would love to hear from you.
