About

I’m an Australian illustrator, artist and author with a strong passion for wordless children’s picture books, and a desire to create beautiful images that tell a story.

My illustrative style combines multi-layered watercolour washes with fine details and crisp, clean lines, without aiming for realism. I create dreamlike scenes through fanciful compositions, brought to life with vivid, highly saturated colours contrasted by subtle complementary tones. Over time, I’ve developed a unique, technical, and timeless style that’s grounded in traditional techniques rather than current trends.

I’ve personally found that creating imaginary worlds helps me bring together all my interests and the things I love in a more focused and manageable way. My style is simply an extension of who I am. I love nature, travel and being present in places of natural beauty. The Maldives, in particular, has been a major influence on much of my work.
