My very first memory is of painting a bright yellow sun besides a pool; I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. 

 

I grew up in a creative environment in many beautiful parts of the world. I studied commercial art in Cape Town and started my career as a junior art director in advertising.

I went to work as an art director in London for 8 years. I then travelled the globe, had babies and found myself dabbling in freelance graphic design. 

 

I was soon led back to my paints and pens and have at last, found my home in illustrating. Now based in Melbourne, Australia I have had some wonderful opportunities to work for a variety of clients as well as the chance to start my own creative business with my sister, called Sweet William.
