14. I was educated in Devon, where I was taught art by Peter
Wickham RWA. I read History of Art at St John’s
College, Cambridge, and later took an MA in Printmaking
and Illustration at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University
where I was tutored by Tom Hammick and Edwina Ellis.
Although I have worked on a wide range of projects over the
years, this current portfolio is my first serious attempt to find
an agent and get serious commercial work. I believe that there
are clients for me out there somewhere. If you agree, or just
like something you have seen, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
