I
come from a family with a long and successful history in the arts including, Oscar winner, Arthur Wimperis ( writer) ,
Architects ,Artists
and even a President of The British Watercolour Society. I continue the family tradition, as a
successful artist and an illustrator of children’s books.
I started my career after graduating in the UK with a degree in Fine Art, at the
time specialising in sculpture. I went on to work for various organisations
within the art world. Painting and illustrating for BBC children’s television,
The National Trust, a wildlife and conservation organisation even city councils
as well as the private sector.
I then began a period of international travel, living, working and exhibiting in
Israel, China, Europe and ending up in Norway where I became Head of the Art Department at the International School
of
Stavanger.
With my family of five children I returned to the UK where I started my own art
and design company completing larger public works, murals and many smaller
design projects.
Throughout this time I continued to develop my illustration career and became a
BBC Blast featured artist. I have also been a featured artist in magazines and
publications as far afield as Japan.
I continue to work as an artist and illustrator and have relocated to Brittany in
northern France where the special mixture of light, ancient history,
architecture and tradition provides me with a rich source of inspiration on a
daily basis.
