I've worked on over 20 children's book projects, from the initial stages of breaking the story into pages, to the final layout and formatting for self-publishing. I mostly use traditional media - inks, watercolours, coloured pencils, gouache - with a touch of digital. I particularly love mixing them and creating unique styles, appropriate for each story. I can develop original, expressive characters and visually dynamic, inspiring backgrounds. I love bringing out the humour and subtleties of texts and make the words come to life and fire the children's imagination.
