Hello! Thanks for having a look around my site. I’m an Irish illustrator/author living in Bristol with my partner and our black and white cat Odysseus. I’m happiest at my desk drawing and writing and can often be found in a coffee shop sketching passers-by. I love animals and nature and going on a llama walk in Dartmoor was one of the best days I’ve ever had!

Selected clients include: Bloomsbury, Little Tiger Press, Aquila Magazine, Boots Opticians, Fáilte Ireland, OBP, Otter-Barry Books, The EPA and Gill Books.

Jasper and Scruff is an illustrated fiction series I have written and illustrated for 5-8 year olds with Little Tiger Press. It was reviewed as one of The Guardian Books of the Month.

“…newly independent readers will lap up the cat-and-dog tale of Jasper and Scruff… Adorable illustrations, snappy dialogue and outrageous puns make it the cat’s pyjamas for bedtime reading, too.” Imogen Russell Williams
