Book Cover by Lee Bales showing a cartoon family.

I am pleased to be graduating from Norwich University of the Arts with a degree in BA Illustration.

I have been able to renew and adapt many years of experience in customer services, time management and problem solving and apply them to the creative sector I now consider myself a part of. A major boost to this experience was taking the role of Student Representative for my course year for the duration of my degree.

During my time at university, I have explored my interest in children’s book illustration as well as editorial cartooning.

I have refreshed my thinking around the subjects tackled in children’s literature and believe there is more to be done in providing books that assist in explaining some of the situations and circumstances children may find themselves in.

I look forward to refining my own art style and covering further topics in the future.
