Was born in 1963. I've been drawing since childhood. Have designer's education. I work as a teacher of painting and design in local college. Sometimes I do design projects. I have illustrated more than 50 books. I took part in many prestigious international illustration competitions. 2004 – was awarded by iBbY (International Council for Books for Young people) Honour List 2004 for the high quality illustrations, Basel, Switzerland and by the Certificate of Honour for Illustration (for “Piratic stories”), Cape Town, South Africa. I paint pictures in my free time - for my own pleasure.
