About
I am a freelance illustrator and artist, currently based in Cambridge after graduating from the MA Childrens Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. I spent a while dabbling in all kinds of illustration, but wasn't until my first picture book was picked up by Michael O'Mara that my love for narrative was cemented.
I am an Associate Lecturer in Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. I have worked with Liontree, Little Tiger, Amnesty International, Eerdmans Young Readers, Lantana, Derwent and Jacksons Art Supplies. I spend as much time as I can out and about with my sketchbooks, and my main source of inspiration is the everchanging sky and all of it's colours.
To work with me on an illustration project, please contact Susan at The Bright Agency.
