Profile

I was educated in Devon, where I was taught art by Peter

Wickham RWA. I read History of Art at St John’s College,

Cambridge, and later took an MA in Printmaking and

Illustration at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University where

I was tutored by Tom Hammick and Edwina Ellis.

Although I have worked on a wide range of projects over

the years, this current portfolio is my first serious attempt

to find an agent and get serious commercial work. I

believe that there are clients for me out there somewhere.

If you agree, or just like something you have seen, please

do not hesitate to contact me.
