Introducing....me!

As you can see from my 'about me' I am originally from sunny Blighty, but now reside in Melbourne, Australia. I am an illustrator, a designer of textiles and ceramic tableware, jewellery maker (more on that another time!).....oh and I love collecting all-sorts of things! All of this keeps me pretty busy and I thought I'd use this blog as a way of sharing some of the things I make and collect...

My trusty travel paint-box

I'm starting with a few examples of my illustrations.... these are taken from my website and essentially show my love of painting in watercolours and inks. I love working in a quick washy-style - building up layers of colour and capturing the essence of the subject with a few quick flicks of the brush (although it can be surprisingly hard to create something that sounds very simple!)

The cup-cakes were commissioned for a range of tableware and servingware....and yes I did get to eat props!
