From an early age I could always be found drawing, painting or making something! I went to primary and secondary school in Dumbarton then onto Glasgow School of Art (more years ago now than I care to mention). I work 4 days a week as a graphic designer for The Highland Council and 1 day (many evenings and from time to time into the wee small hours) as an illustrator. I live in Inverness with my husband "Soapy".
