I’m an illustrator, artist, and children’s picture book author from Dublin. Most recently, I have become a cloud hunter.
My books include the Lonely Beast series, Danger is Everywhere with David O’Doherty, and most recently Eggcorns which was published in October this year. I am currently working on a project called A Daily Cloud where I draw a new character every day and post them on Twitter and Instagram to brighten your feed every morning.
