I attended art school in the 1980s and specialised in illustration while there. I've been a freelance artist/illustrator since that date. Between 2002-2006, I returned to full-time study at Bath Spa University, where I completed a combined BA Hons. degree in English and Creative Studies in English. In the final year, I obtained my Masters in Creative Writing, specialising in poetry. Since then, I've been mainly concentrating on my art and working part-time.
