Illustrator with a background in children's books and greetings cards.
Now I do portrait commissions in the same style, as well as keeping a not-always-*entirely*-accurate illustrated diary.

Well, as December reaches the 20s, this may be a good time to thank everyone who’s asked me to turn their friends and families into illustrations this year, and to thank you for all your likes and comments, too. I really appreciate it!
From all of us, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Labrador 😍

A family Xmas tree for possibly the biggest family I know 😆 They’re not really dressed for the North Pole but let’s not let global warming worries spoil the mood… or the fact that the driver is a little young. Apparently that’s ok in the NP as long as it’s a Ferrari & they stop for Polar Bears.

Just back from a fantastic trip to Naples. Herculaneum; a tour of underground tunnels that opened up into Cathedral-like domes; and a trip to see the ever fabulous Sondra Radvanovsky in a production of Medea that has left me wondering ‘why?’ on so many levels 🤦🏼♀️

Happy birthday to another friend, Melissa, celebrating a big birthday - I was one of the youngest in the year so I can relax for a while 🤭
She now lives in California, but we met at school in Devon & this is a mixture of memories & moments that have led to where we find ourselves in life today.

‘Tis the season to once again pop the needle on Jamie Cullum’s Xmas album and dance your way through December 🎅🏻💃🏼
A new partner for me, after a solo year last year, but Riley has learnt the steps and we are CHRISTMAS READY 🤗 🦃

Another fab production from MidWales Opera; Trouble in Tahiti. Sharp, witty, with expert musicianship, all mixed with pure joy. I met friends beforehand & somehow failed to hear about a weather warning that saw me driving home in thick snow. So. A pretty eventful evening 😳😍

Extraordinary performance of Playing Burton, @welshnationaltheatre’s inaugural production. Matthew Rhys was spellbinding. Towards the end of the hour & a half some strange alchemy occurred where he seemed to move from Playing Burton to BEING Burton - as if Richard Burton’s face flickered across his.

It seems an unfortunate coincidence that Riley should have had his operation just as a weather system called the Pembrokeshire Dangler moved in 😬
Still, it means he’s been able to play a new game: collecting hailstones in his cone.

He will! He hated the cone so much we’ve swapped it for a onesie thing and now he looks like Superdog 😬 I’m feeling terrible ☹️

No need to panic. Just a little procedure to help dampen his ardour 😕 and keep the local ladies out of trouble.

The face of a dog who has been described as both ‘magnificent’ (not for his recall skills 🤣) and ‘hench’ by different strangers this last week.
He has a reputation to maintain now 😂😍

Diary entry for Riley from last week. Successful café training; an awkward moment with a T Rex that turned out to be FAKE - who knew?!!; something spooky; a blat on the beach & ending up sharing a bone in the pub with Best Friend Eric. Their toes on the floor tiles sounded like tap dancing 😆🤗
