I make up stuff, I’m arty and I’m a little bit of a nerd.
​That’s the short version.

WORDS

A child asked Neil Gaiman,
'I want to be an author when I grow up. Am I mad?'

Neil replied,  
'Yes. Growing up is highly overrated. Just be an author.'

​I truly believe this. It is how I try to live and the underlying message in a lot of my writing.

'Believe in the magic and keep your inner child alive!'

My first book, 'Paper Magic' was released by IFWG Publishing Australia in late 2013. 

It is an adaptation of my children's story, 'Marina Mack and the Magic Paper' which was shortlisted for the Charlotte Duncan Award for Children's Literature in 2009. 


My children's ghost story, 'Under the Owl Tree' was published in Volume Three of the anthology 'Charms', edited by Sally Odgers.

'Artists and illustrators are different creatures. Illustrators tell a story with their art.'


​Before I became an illustrator, much of my artistic works featured children and animals and I held a successful art exhibition 'Bless the Beasts and the Children'   

Now that I work as an illustrator I find that I still paint children and animals, with the odd monster thrown in for good measure.

I have illustrated
  • Part of the teacher resource package for Sandy Fussell's CBCA nominated book 'Polar Boy.' 
  • Cover illustrations for  'Literature For Kids'  and 'SQ Mag' on-line magazines.
  • The cover and internal illustrations for my books 'Paper Magic' and 'Olivia Stone and the Trouble with Trixies'
  • A collection of bedtime stories, 'The Adventures of Teddy and Karl'
  • I'm now an illustrator for IFWG Publishing and SQ Mag creating book cover art and internal illustrations for them.



My favourite medium to work in for illustrating is watercolour, but I also use pen and ink, acrylics, oils, pastels, coloured pencils and digitally, using a stylus and graphics tablet to paint.
