I work in watercolour, ink and pastels and my style ranges from realistic to animated.
I use drawing from life to sharpen the way that I look at things - people-watching is a great way to notice the small details in everyday life.
Fantasy and animal stories are my two favourite subject matters.
I enjoy drawing animal characters that children can relate to by recognising their own personalities, emotions and feelings.
My next challenge is to write down some of the ideas that I have for stories and characters.
