Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where can I buy your work?
    I will soon have art prints for sale here on my website! I also hope to have some original work for sale in local galleries and exhibitions in the near future. Any updates on sales will be shared on my social media and through my mailing list which you can join below.
  • What materials do you work with?
    I have always been a very messy, expressive painter and I adore to get my hands dirty, creating movement and texture in my work. As a result of this I play with a range of materials including acrylic, graphite, charcoal, chalk and I love the unpredictability of ink and watercolour. Most recently I have been creating digital paintings too and you can find examples of these on my portfolio page.
  • Are you a picture book author, illustrator or both?
    I am a children's picture book author-illustrator and freelance illustrator.
  • Do you have picture books for sale?
    Yes! My debut children’s picture book Lyra’s Strings is now available to purchase.
  • What are your books about?
    I love to write about quirky, underdog characters that are often misunderstood. I am especially passionate about representing beautiful neurodivergent minds. I aim to create books that are inclusive and are relatable to children and families with invisible disabilities. I also adore nature and lyrical language; I work in rhyme and prose.
