A Little Bit About Me
My first inspiration, as a little girl, were the well-loved fairytale collection by Ladybird Books.  When I was asked to illustrate the new editions of  "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Elves and The Shoemaker" for Ladybird.  I was over the moon!!!!!
My passion for art and yoga merged when I illustrated a yoga book with mariam gates and publisher Sounds True . This blossomed into the Best selling Good Night Yoga series.  ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
