book launch 2024.

My first illustrated children’s book Miko And Her Music will be published in January 2024!!

Written, illustrated and designed by yours truly, it charts the story of lovely Miko and her search for answers to one of the biggest questions she’s ever faced.

This is a work that I’ve adored creating. It comes straight from my heart and is inspired by true events. I cannot wait to share it with you all.

Watch this space!!

children’s workshop november 2021.

So excited that I’ll be creating and running an art workshop for Garsington CE Primary School’s pupils in Oxford. The workshop is in conjunction with National Anti-Bullying Week w/c15 November 2021, an initiative of the Anti Bullying Alliance which Garsington incorporates into its own school curriculum.

ArtBank august 2021.

Excited and honoured to have been part of the very first ArtBank hosted by Clapham Park Creative on Saturday 21 August 2021 where I contributed interactively alongside fabulous local artists Cindy Lilen, Xavier Solé, Anita Agarwal & Roger Hunte. What a day, a wonderful shared experience. It was so much fun & incredibly rewarding spending time with the Clapham community in my drawing workshop.

ArtBank is the brainchild of the brilliant Christopher Green who created it in 2020 as a means of connecting audiences and artists during the Covid-19 pandemic.
