I am a self-taught artist who was brought up in the vibrant city of London and moved to the sunny shores of Florida in the early 90s. My journey into the world of art began at a young age, driven by a deep passion for creativity and storytelling. Over the years, this passion has evolved into a fulfilling career where I now invest my time in writing and illustrating children’s books.
My love for all animals, great and small, is a constant source of inspiration in my work. I believe that every creature has a story to tell, and through my illustrations and stories, I bring these animals to life, teaching children about love, friendship, and the beauty of the natural world.
My artistic journey is one of exploration and learning, and I’m proud to have honed my skills through dedication and practice. Each piece I create is a reflection of my love for art and my desire to inspire young minds. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise old owl, or a curious kitten, my goal is to create characters that resonate with children and help them understand important life lessons in a fun and engaging way.
When I’m not in my studio, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, surrounded by the very animals that inspire my work, or spending quality time with my family. I’m always dreaming up new stories and illustrations, and I’m excited to share my latest creations with you.

In the Studio
I am always the happiest when I'm at home in my studio, I have to keep an eye on the Rag doll Cat as he will have his paws in the paint in a blink of an eye, I love to listing to music when I'm painting so ill have Pandora radio playing, Danny Elfman music or Liquid mind, some days Pink Floyd.
I enjoy making the mini videos of how I created the painting.
Many of you have emailed me asking me to do a how to video so I have made a couple of those that you can see by clicking on the link above that says "In the Studio Videos"

A Lunchtime Sketch
This Was one of my first videos using my I phone camera, and with the aid of a stop animation app I was able to create this cool video.
Every Artist has to have his or her's, favorite shirt to paint in! guess which one is mine :)
I had a lot of fun with this painting, this one is currently hanging in our living room.
