2007 - 2018
I showed with the Open Studios a few times during this period while I ran a commission based decoration business called Moobaacluck - designing stationery and gifts, illustrated and undertook pet portraits which are still available to commission on Notonthehighstreet.com/fromaplaceofwonder . In 2009 I had my only solo show to date at the Garden House Gallery in Cromer.
1990 - 2007
In the 1990s while living in Surrey I contributed to a couple of shows as an illustrator; at the Mall Galleries and the Association of Illustrators in London and illustrated for magazines, children’s books and paper goods companies. I also worked as an in-house Christmas card and wrapping paper designer for three years with International Greetings and for two years as a Product Manager for Card Connection - now owned by Gibson Greetings. When we moved to Norfolk I continued to work as an illustrator for several years.
