My work is narrative based and draws from both imagination and observation. I enjoy telling stories mostly through pictures using minimal or no text. Story ideas often surround the simple things from everyday life but then take you away from the familiar to unexpected places.

Enriching my drawings with the little details of life, facial expressions, posture and pattern is essential in giving strength and emotion to my characters, bringing my stories to life and gaining empathy from my audience.

Screen printing has become an important part of my creative process, allowing me to develop and reproduce my drawings whilst retaining the energy and quality of the original line. The printing process has also given me the freedom to self publish.
