illustrated by helen

With an artistic granny, father and uncle, and after a childhood of endless doodling, it seemed inevitable that I would seek a career as an illustrator.

After receiving my BA Honours in Graphic Design at Nottingham Trent University, I found my big break creating editorial illustrations for a number of UK magazines.

Since then, I have worked with top publishers such as Bloomsbury, Orchard Books, Egmont and Scholastic.

I regularly go on drawing adventures around the world, seeking inspiration from places near and far - most recently Hong Kong, New York and Tanzania have had me furiously sketching!  I recently won Zizzi's Fresh Talent Competition and now my 'Legs' painting is adorning plates in their restaurants right across the UK!
