Some words about myself:

I was born in 1979 in Inverness, and grew up variously on the Isle of Skye, in Cheshire, and in Somerset. I studied Fine Art in Liverpool, and still live and work here. Over the last few years I have started to focus on drawings and illustrations of characters and scenes from stories I have written. My inspirations include human eyes (especially in masks) and animals, fur (both clean and matted!), nature, the positions of animals in taxidermy, unusual images and old photographs. I also like the poetry of Ted Hughes, old tins, medieval images of animals, films, (particularly watching the dynamics of on-screen relationships, as well as the relationships between the actors or documentary subjects, and the camera), physical gestures and non-verbal communication, and traditional animation.
