Matilda loved reading as a child and was inspired to start writing by Roald Dahl, who she met when she was 7. She has since written both children's and adult fiction and non-fiction. She is delighted to have just completed an absorbing eight-year project, researching, writing and producing an in-depth biography of St Ives self-taught artist Alfred Wallis. The book is titled Alfred Wallis Child Pauper to Artistic Luminary, and combines rigorous research, a compelling narrative, and many colour illustrations to tell the remarkable story of this iconic artist, who rose from extreme hardship to become a key figure in British Modern Art.

When the town’s fish vanished and hunger spread, it was the seagulls who guided him to a hid Read more of this blog post »

“If readers can come away seeing Alfred Wallis's paintings with fresh eyes - seeing not just the charm but the strength and experience behind them – I’ll know the last eight years of the book's production will have been incredibly worthwhile.”
