I was born in India and moved to the United Kingdom in my teens. I ended up going to art school by accident, where I had the best time, made friends for life and met my husband-to-be. I lived in London for 30 years and then moved to a place where I can breathe the sea air. I have written and illustrated several books for children on topics such as fashion, nature and collecting. I love cooking, dancing and walking in the woods near my house early in the morning. Also — mad about mushrooms.
