BIOGRAPHY I am a Vancouver illustrator with an Italian background, Australian husband, two Canadian children, a Border Collie, and a cat. As well as publishing, over the years I have worked in graphics and packaging, fabric design, and cartooning. But illustration is my first love, including fashion illustration, and especially pictures for children. Whenever possible I use brilliant saturated colours and richly patterned textiles in my pictures. A sense of humour is nearly always an ingredient, too.
