Illustrator
​
I started painting in 2017
It was only in 2022 that I remembered how much I had wanted to be a writer, as a child.
That was when I decided to combine my wish to be a writer, with my love of drawing and painting.
After completing two courses (one on writing picture books, the other on illustrating picture books) I started to write and illustrate my own picture books.
Here are some samples of some of them.
One of my earliest. Hand drawn and coloured with watercolour. Written in dry pen and ink,
With illustrated backgrounds.
Inspired by the cycle of life and my love of this planet.
​
My next, inspired by the sparrows, living on the walls of my cottage, greeting me each morning with their conversations.
​
My next one came about when I started using acrylic inks.
Creating ink splat abstract art, led to a few pictures of a black splat cat!
A friend suggested I write a book about him.
Another, hand drawn in ink, coloured with acrylic inks
Text hand written.
​
This book, also drawn and painted in acrylic inks, is about uniqueness, diversity, inclusion, friendship and love.
