I was born in Cornwall and attended Falmouth and Exeter Art Colleges.
I have been working as a full time illustrator since 1987. For the last 5 years I have been producing more digital work and enjoy using Illustrator and photoshop. However I have a good grounding in traditional drawing skills and painting techniques and continue to use these in my fine art work.

In my 20 odd years as an illustrator I have worked on a very eclectic range of jobs including maps, puzzle books , jigsaws, magazine and comic illustrations, children's story books, book covers, greetings cards, wall charts and educational work, with the odd mural thrown in for good measure! .Clients include Hallmark, the BBC, Barnardos, the Tidy Britain Group, Ladybird Books and Readers Digest and my work has been used as far afield as Germany, North and South America and Australia.
