Spread from Forgotten Brushes (coming soon!)

Right now, I’m finishing up Forgotten Brushes, a non-fiction picture book celebrating overlooked women in art history. Each spread introduces a forgotten female artist—some painters, some illustrators, some textile designers—and includes a fun, creative prompt inspired by their unique work.

It’s designed to help kids (and grown-ups!) realise that art history didn’t just belong to the “great masters”—it’s full of brilliant women who deserve the spotlight too.

If you’re curious about my author/illustrator projects or have something in mind, feel free to get in touch!

Why Work With Me

This is a black and white sketch of three female characters with animal-like features, wearing futuristic or fantasy-style clothing and accessories. The first character on the left has her face obscured by a blue oval shape, with added green highlights on boots and a blue outline around her waist, suggesting a costume or design guide. The middle character has short, curly hair, a mask over the eyes, and a confident stance. The third character has curly hair, wearing a jacket and striped pants, with a serious expression.

Clear, expressive character designs

Professional experience with top publishers

Mentorship that meets you where you are
