I used to have a sensible job working as a graphic designer, but my nagging obsession with picture books grew to the point where I had to try my hand at illustrating. I love the creative potential of visual storytelling – I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

In 2000, I had my first picture LITTLE PLATYPUS printed, receiving a CBCA notable book in 2001, followed by TRICKY LITTLE HIPPO (2004), ELEPHANT DANCE (2007) and BOOM BAH! (2008).

BOOM BAH! toured nationally in 2008. Touring Korea, Singapore and New Zealand in 2009, as part of a literacy initiative between WINDMILL and the ADVERTISER, LITTLE BIG BOOK CLUB.

BOOM BAH! The live show

I’m holding my breath, waiting for the October 2009 launch of may lastest 4-and-a-half-year effort BALLROOM BONANZA.
