Illustrations and Children's author
I am available to illustrate your book with beautifully stylised artwork that sings with nature, has a hint of henna and brings your writing to life. Having recently illustrated a book that is going to be published to raise money for The Born Free Foundation, and written by a local child.
I am also working on my own mindful adventure called "Hens' Big Day Out!" A beauty full tale of two hen friends, who escape out of their garden with a little help from their bunny family, when their humans go to town. The book follows the hens adventuring to all of their favourite spots, enjoying moments of stillness and beauty and connection. But do they make it home before their humans' return?
In addition to "Hens' Big Day Out" I am lovingly writing and illustrating a bedtime story about a dear little girl called Bea. For 14 moths Beatrix lived in hospital, awaiting the gift of life: A new heart. This story is a magic filled memoir of little events and people in her hospital life. I am still seeking publication of this book, in a hope to raise funds for her family as they adjust to life at home now Beatrix has that miraculous gift of a new heart from her "Hero inside".
If you have a book to illustrate, please email to discuss prices. Illustrations are available on a sliding scale of cost for charities and community organisations.
My adventure in art
I have always had a deep love for art and nature.
When I was a teenager oil painting with my finger tips was my medium and method of choice. I studied Art for GSCEs and at A Level and then signed up to a Foundation Degree in Art which I abandoned for traveling to India. I had never had any faith in my ability to create art or to carve a wondrous career path of my own, so until my mid twenties, I settled for the mundane and thought no more about "my path". I still painted throughout my life and doodled henna, but never fully appreciating my passion or skills until I started truly investing in my happiness when I was studying and practicing Holistic therapies and Holistic living at the grand young age of 26.
