About me

I am an artist and author - a compulsive creator! I draw portraits and I love illustrating books and card decks. Previously I have illustrated both children's and grown-up's books, working in a range of styles from hand drawn in pencil, to black and white line drawings, to full rich Photoshop coloured pieces.

I run my own thriving design business, Creative Essence Services, providing design services to many inspirational and successful individuals in the consciousness arena including Lilou Mace, Barnet Bain, and Dr Manjir Samanta-Laughton. I am particularly well known as the creator of Lilou's Juicy Living Tour cartoon logo, and the illustrator of Jolene Setterfield's Reminder cards.

As well as illustrating children's books for other people, I write and illustrate my own children's books.
