I am a  illustrator, 

         I live in Colchester, Essex, and grew up in Manningtree on the River Stour, very close to Constable Country. 

         I have always loved drawing and being generally creative. I worked as a children's nanny for many years and throughout this career I did evening classes, gaining 2 A levels (Art and Biology) and a foundation course in Art and Design, specialising in illustration.

         I then went on to do a correspondence course in children's illustration with the London Art College and through this I started to illustrate for The Music House for Children in West London.
