Illustration

I love children’s books, and how they use illustration to tell stories. Because of this I try to step out observational sketching, into drawing from imagination.  I enjoy creating illustrated characters – both humans and animal and make them spring into action. There is so much to explore and so much to learn!

I mostly work with pen, ink and watercolours. More recently I learned to put hand-drawn elements together on the computer. It offers more flexibility as you can play with scale and layout and now I really enjoy working that way too.

Recipes and food illustration

I combine my interests in storytelling, illustration, hand lettering with my love of cooking to create hand drawn illustrated recipes (check those out on my illustrated recipes page).
