Whimsical, feathery and playful illustrator with a traditional flavour. Specialized in children's books, animals and starry skies.
Great illustrations are more than pretty pictures that frame a good story: they catch the eye of the reader, describe your world and characters.

It is creating this perfect mesh of picture and words that fuels my passion for illustrating children’s books.

Lenny would do anything for his best friend Nora. Unfortunately, he's just broken her heart. He's not sure why her hat is so important to her, only that it is, and he accidentally lost it in the wind. Now a river rat has found a surprising use for the fedora, and she refuses to part with it.
