I am an illustrator/author,living in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia.
I illustrate fiction, non-fiction and humans, but for various reasons, my portfolio mostly tends towards natural history and animals ... .. my background is Zoology.... Much of my work has been for nature reference books, but I have illustrated for childrens' literature as well.
My first major venture as an author was writing and illustrating a children's picture book on endangered species which was released in June 2010 ( Little Hare Books). It's called "Count Them While You Can" and is one of the Childrens' Book Council of Australia's Eve Pownall Notable Books for 2011, as well as being shortlisted for the 2011 Wilderness Society's Environmental Award for Children's Literature
Little Hare was recently purchased by another company and now want to focus on fiction only. As a result, I'm exploring other avenues, for both illustration work (and looking for another publisher for other books) in this genre.
Work has included illustrations for Australian Geographic Magazine, illustrations for the Australian Museum Skeleton Gallery, model-makingfor the Australian Museum,ABC Books "The Book of Animals" NPWS, ANH Magazine, Weldon Owen Publishing and The NSW Dept. Education's "The School Magazine" - fiction, non-fiction and poetry illustrations.
I also worked as a biological model maker for the Australian Museum, finishing artist for the feature film "Babe 2". and as an illustration/model-making assistant for Jeannie Baker for her film "Rosy Dock"...
I work in watercolour, pastel, pencil etc. but have also done some paper sculpture, which is a medium not much utilised in Australia.
