I trained at Bath Academy of Art where I gained a B.A. (Hons) 2:1 in Illustration. I produce illustrations for books, cards and calendars and am a published author and illustrator of several children's books.

I enjoy painting animals and birds within picturesque surroundings - either outside, in pretty gardens or beautiful countryside, or occupying  colourful interiors, surrounded by patterned textiles, decorative ceramics, ornaments and flowers.

I live in an ancient cottage in Somerset with my beekeeping husband, two music loving children and three demanding cats.

The paintings on this website have all been commissioned.
