With my friend Louise at the Owl House in Nieu Bethesda, South Africa
Hello!
In recent years I have gone back to doing what I really love, drawing and writing. Mostly about where I go, and the people I meet. I have spent years creating digital editorial illustrations and am now creating artworks the old-fashioned way through printmaking.
Other regular work combines the world of images and words - designing and laying out the pages of books, magazines and newspapers… and I have done my time as a sub-editor in the newsroom too.
Other clients include artists, academic institutions, charities and NGO producing material for people who read and speak English as a second language and I try to help them communicate difficult ideas with clarity – both visual and written. Below is a list of regulars:
National Geographic Traveller
VISI
House & Leisure
Getaway Magazine
Men’s Health South Africa
Runner’s World
HighLife Magazine
The Urban Futures Centre
The KZNSA Gallery
Independent Newspapers
Janet Solomon
Savage Jewellery
The Family Literacy Project
WIEGO
The Department of Basic Education

Glenridge Preprimary
The School of Development Studies
Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division (HEARD)
I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (UK) and was put through the London School of Journalism while a lowly layout/subeditor for Newtrade Publishing. I have postgraduate degrees in Psychology and English and a nearly completed Fine Art degree…. the demands of new babies and earning a living interrupted this, hopefully one day I’ll finish it!
