I studied illustration at Cambridge College of Arts and Technology and immediately after leaving college had my first two children’s books accepted. I have worked for many different clients, including Walker Books, Phoenix Trading and Marks and Spencers, creating diverse illustrations for pop up books, prints, cards, gift wrap and other products. I work from home, surrounded by the beautiful Sussex Downs, with my husband and two cats. Stories have always been part of my way of seeing the world and I love using my pictures to create their own world. It has been a real delight to collaborate with Bothy Threads. I am constantly amazed at the skill and patience needed to sew one of their lovely kits. Kate saw some of my ‘Cut Thru’ greeting cards for Phoenix Trading and made the leap of imagination to see my detailed illustrations in stitch. Apart from the ‘Cut Thru’ range I have designed other kits for Bothy Threads and look forward to creating more kits with them in the future.
