About Me


Ann always used to get into trouble for doodling/drawing in her maths class. Was told she should be more academic, dramatic, less dreamy and more confident. Later despite several attemps to draw her away from her favourite subject she has finally found her feet.


I am currently studying for a BA Graphic Arts degree at the WSA, UK. Having just finished the first year I attended a very interesting lunch, met some great visiting lecturers, and discovered a love of book binding.

'I love illustration, graphic design and photography. I like finding new techniques in graphic art and seeing just how much they can be merged in with what I already know.'

'I'm going to try making a pin-hole camera and try out some more cutwork with fineline drawings.

I would also loved to have met my Great Grandfather - French (my father's Grandfather), a book binder/journey man. What he was like?

Not so sure that I would have liked to have met my other Great Grandfather's family - Pirates from the Isle of Wight. But perhaps it does explain why I like travelling by sea so much!
