I am an artist and illustrator, originally from Kent, England, and now based in the west of Ireland. From an early age, I have always loved drawing, painting, and creating in many forms.
My favourite style is pen and watercolour, though I am always exploring new techniques and ways to compose illustrations and artworks.
I am especially drawn to buildings - particularly those with stories behind them. This often involves researching their history, as well as the people and families connected to them.
This passion has inspired me to bring art and friendships together.
Your Story Illustrated is a unique part of my work: creating personalised, commissioned pieces that capture important, meaningful, and memorable places. Each one is designed to be a treasured and original work of art.
Thank you for visiting my page, and I hope you enjoy exploring my work. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

...currently scheduling a number of future events here in the West of Ireland.
Currently available prints of maps:
Welcome to Tunbridge Wells Tourist Map
Illustrated Map of Maidstone, Kent
Illustrated Map of Southborough, Kent
Scotney Castle National Trust - Welcome Map
Scotney Castle National Trust - Estate Map
For your own personalised map, I have strategically left small spaces so that an image of your choice can be added.
There are a few illustrated maps on the drawing board, where in the world next? Watch this space!
These artworks are my primary interest and consist of a pen and watercolour illustration, based on a persons own experiences or cherished memories.
If you provide me with the memories, I will then translate them into a unique "Illustrated Story". This is a true one-off piece of artwork, designed by you and intended for that someone special.

If you have something in mind, a certain image, a certain style, then bring those ideas with you (or just drop me an email) and I will be happy to talk through them with the aim of creating something special for you.
A list of print prices is being compiled and will be posted here very soon.
Ordering and pricing details can also be found for these special projects:

If you'd like to get in touch, the best way is by email - I check messages regularly throughout the day.
Once I receive your email, I'll follow up with a quick call to chat about your ideas. Please include your contact number and a suitable time for me to call. (And if the gift is a surprise for someone in your household, let me know so we can keep it secret!)
I'm now based in Mayo, in the west of Ireland, so if you're local, do feel free to drop by and say hello.
