In 1991 she became a full-time freelance illustrator. She has illustrated over thirty books, including Cowboy Baby, winner of the prestigious Smarties Prize Gold Award in 1998. Her latest picture book has been nominated for the Greenaway Medal.

She lives in Oxfordshire and in her spare time she motorcycles and is learning to skateboard.
