Illustration & Stories
For over three decades, my illustration career has been about stories—whether helping to package animal behaviour expertise into a national bestseller or illustrating non-fiction titles for major publishers like Simon & Schuster.
This page brings together my commercial publishing background and my evolving journey into picture books: featuring UGLY, my debut children’s picture book. Also artwork styles I am considering for upcoming tales inspired by the unique, unpredictable magic of country life.
