There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about me. I hope you enjoy my site and take a moment to drop me a line.
The best way I could describe myself is as a creative juggler. I am a writer (a passion spurred on by my dyslexia and probably because someone once told me I couldn't be a dyslexic writer which only made me want to be one more), an illustrator and a creator of beautiful odd things.

The best way I could describe myself is as a creative juggler. I am a writer (a passion spurred on by my dyslexia and probably because someone once told me I couldn't be a dyslexic writer which only made me want to be one more), an illustrator and a creator of beautiful odd things. I am a soul who doesn't like to be pinned down to one creative discipline but rather I like to pick up whichever project I am most drawn to on any particular day and run with it.
Each illustration is a manifestation of its own individual story. I have never been able to stick to one form of art which has led me to use collage as my main tool as it lets me experiment with texture as well as style. I like to use photography, watercolours, fabric, embroidery and dried flowers to make 3d collage or digital art. Occasionally I'll stray to polymer clay.
My writing started out as bedtime stories for my children. I wrote them down. It became an obsession. With the words came images of how these worlds looked and breathed and worked. The images and writing worked back and forth within my mind, until I knew I had to put them somewhere as my head was becoming quite cluttered with imaginary realms, characters and narratives. Before beauty was born.
