I have been a successful professional Freelance illustrator and author for over a decade with five published picture books. The picture books I have published have been translated into 10 languages, received reviews in respected industry publications and been nominated for various awards. The most notable nomination being for the Book trust’s Early Years award: best emerging illustrator category for Small Mouse Big City. Two career highlights so far were Small Mouse Big City being featured as the bedtime story on the BBC’s Cbeebies channel and attending the Edinburgh book festival as featured author promoting the book with a reading, a drawing workshop and book signing.
