When I first started it was definitely from the illustration angle. What prompted you to enter this field? Did your stories begin as pictures, words, or both? I also painted Bradley Wiggins on his bike for the Tour de France.įor the last few years, you have authored and illustrated several picture books. I use oils on canvas to create often large close ups of smiling or laughing faces in bright, vibrant colours – it makes me happy! I’ve had some lovely commissions, painting adults and children. Can you describe some of your artistic endeavors?Īs well as an author and illustrator I am a portrait artist. Since that time you have been an artist in the UK. In the mid 1990s, you were awarded an honors degree in painting from the Kent Institute of Art and Design in Canterbury. Claire Alexander was a notable British artist before she shifted directions to become an award-winning author/illustrator. I am delighted to introduce someone who wears both hats. In some instances, these talents are merged into one. Most picture books require the efforts of both an author and an illustrator.
