If you’re looking to wrap your story in a gorgeous, illustrated cover, look no further. I specialize in painting characters for Urban Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Dystopian, and Young Adult Fantasy covers, but can lend my style and design skills to the other fiction genres without a hitch.

I'm always striving to authentically capture the essence of a character and their world with my work. Drawing upon the manuscript for inspiration, I translate it visually to create beautiful and lasting art. All while using my design experience to draw in readers that will truly resonate with the story.

The process begins by receiving a brief or asking questions about the book, then reading over the manuscript to immerse myself in the narrative. Then we go through stages of sketching, revisions, and painting before finishing with your glorious cover as a print-ready-PDF with beautiful promotional art to help it stand out online!

My services comprise of Illustration, Cover Design, Exterior Typography and Lettering, and Promotional Images for social media. I include all of them in my ‘Starter Pack’ for self-publishing authors; and for publishing houses I can adapt my deliverables to whatever is required.

Don't hesitate to get in touch, I look forward to working together!
