  • Biography
    I am a freelance illustrator and artist. My main work consists of illustration work for children's books, specific group sets of paintings for local exhibitions, and occasionally a commissioned piece. But, when I am not working for a specific client, I like to create my own paintings mainly of animals, landscapes, maps, and ink drawings. I also am happy to take commissioned work. If you would like to commission something, please feel free to contact me.
