Bio
BIO I am a professional visual artist specialising in comics, graphic novels, and manga. My published work includes a manga-style graphic novel, The Witch-Hare, inspired by the folklore of Wales, and Creating Manga Characters, an instructional book focusing on character and comics creation.
I have been designing and facilitating arts workshops since 2015. My professional practice has led to numerous collaborations with schools, museums, libraries, and festivals. Comics are an incredibly versatile art form that is suitable for individuals of all ages and abilities, and can be adapted to a wide range of themes and curriculum subjects.
