A little bit about me

It’s lovely to meet you!

I’m Linda, a visual storyteller, drawing from a little studio in the picturesque Irish countryside with my loyal poodle Chico always by my side…… or under my desk.

I spend my days drawing an assortment of worlds inspired by my timeless love of humorous animals, Bauhaus design & classic cartoons from the 1980’s.

How I became an artist

I’ve not followed a straight path to illustration & live drawing for events, that’s for sure. One constant in my life has always been my love of drawing, and capturing the little moments of colourful joy life has to offer.

The local video shop was across the road from my nanny’s house in Kilcock, county Kildare. I would stare in the window at the giant poster for All Dogs Go To Heaven in amazement of how it was drawn. Every week we were treated to a video rental. Our top choices were All Dogs Go To Heaven, An American Tail and The Secret of Nimh.

I was in sheer wonder at how they were drawn by hand & brought to life. Then my Mam told me that they were made in Dublin…wow!!

That is when I knew I could be an artist.


I’m a classically trained animator from the prestigious Irish School of Animation in Ballyfermot College and I’ve also studied Fine Art, Digital Media Design, along with Business Planning (see, I told you it wasn’t linear!) I’ve worked for big companies, small companies & everything in between.

Drawing at your live event

Specialising in live event drawing, I’ve collaborated with international clients including Winsor & Newton, TK Maxx, L’Oreal, Kiehl’s Primark, Wix, Meta and Google.

I adore hand made craftsmanship, most of my drawings are created by hand with black ink line work & watercolour washes, influenced by my favourite illustrator Quentin Blake. I have an appetite for creating fun characters & dreaming up ways to will bring their personalities to life!

And when I’m not drawing…

black tea & chocolate

I love playing sport and walking Chico always fuelled by black tea and mint chocolate!
