About

Welcome to my website. I have worked as a textile designer and children’s illustrator for over two decades. My portfolio reflects my passion for color and pattern. I’ve had the great privilege to design and illustrate products for a variety of clients globally including children’s books and periodicals, children’s apparel, toys, wall décor, fabrics, greeting cards and stationery and more.

My illustrated children’s books have recently been juried into the Society of Illustrator’s Original Art Show multiple times. “Why is the Sky Blue?” was chosen to be paired with an Eric Carle title for Booktrust.org’s book bag program. Over 700,000 book bags were distributed to first year students throughout the UK.

For the past 10 years I have revisited the world of oil painting. It has been exciting to see how this endeavor has informed my illustration work. To see current work please follow me on Instagram, link below.

Some very generous words used to describe my work : “glimmering”, “lavish”, “handsome”, “vibrant”, “gorgeous”, “magical”, “lush”, “amazing”, “breathtaking”, “beautiful”, “gloriously colorful”, “dreamlike”, “luminous”, “dynamic”, “engaging’, “pleasing”, “skillful”, “alluring” and a “celebration of observation”.

Thanks for stopping by.
