The examples on this page showcase some of the diverse subject matter and styles of illustration that I offer for an intergenerational audience, including for children's books, public art trail designs and other contexts.



Watercolour effects
Bright colours combine with brush, dribbled, splattered and straw-blown effects to create energetic, vibrant and richly expressive illustrations.






Coloured pencil
Soft, chalky textures of coloured pencil with touches of acrylic ink on coloured paper convey atmosphere and magic.
