About
I am a Somerset based Illustrator, specialising in Greeting card and Editorial Design. My work has a retro theme, inspired by my love of design and advertising from the 1950's and 1960's. My influences can be found in a number of inspiring artist's work. This long list includes...Saul Bass, Alexander Calder, Joseph Cornell, Andre Francois, Paul Rand, Robert Rauschenberg, Miroslav Sasek, Kurt Schwitters and Ben Shahn to name but a few.
I studied at the University of the West of England, where I graduated with BA (Hons) Illustration and Masters Degree in Printmaking. I am also Programme Leader for HE Graphic Media and Communication at Somerset College. In addition to this I am currently studying for a PhD at Falmouth University, specialising in the relationship between cookery writer and illustrator during the period from 1954 to 1965.
