I am a professional illustrator and fine artist. I want to teach anyone who wants to either start or progress in their artwork.

I am an award winning highly skilled illustrator and concept artist with over 20 years of professional experience across publications, film, television, video games, and design. My expertise spans concept art, character design, storyboarding, and digital illustration, with advanced proficiency in tools such as Adobe Photoshop. Throughout my career, I have worked both independently and within collaborative studio environments, delivering high‑quality visual work from initial concepts through to final polished renders. I also bring strong experience in 2D and 3D visual development, matte painting, and creative direction, having led teams and contributed to major international productions.

I guide students from initial idea generation and thumbnail sketches through to fully realised artwork, emphasising strong fundamentals such as composition, anatomy, and visual storytelling. Lessons are structured to be adaptable to different skill levels, encouraging experimentation while building technical confidence. I also promote a collaborative learning environment, drawing on my industry experience to provide real‑world insights, constructive feedback, and strategies for working creatively under deadlines.
