I am an artist and children's book author/illustrator living in Edinburgh.
​
I worked as an architect before the birth of my daughter in 2023. After winning the Picture Hooks "Kindness" competition I decided to have a serious go at creating a children’s picture book.
I was awarded a six-month mentorship with Morag Hood as part of the Picture Hooks Buddy Scheme 2024. During this time I worked on a story called ‘I am Katy’ - which you can read more about on my ‘Picture Book page’.
My dream is to work up my story with a publisher so please get in touch if you are an agent or publisher who is interested in working togther! ​
Oil Painting
​
For my illustration work I tend to work digitally on my iPad but I am always drawing on the skills and techniques that I developed in my oil painting practice.
In 2019 I received a bursary from Leith School of Art, Edinburgh where I spent a year focused on oil painting. In 2020 I received the Friends of Leith School of Art Painting Prize for my paintings that I made during the first national lockdown.
