About

I am a freelance illustrator and artist, currently based near 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, Magination Press (American Psychology Association), Eerdmans Young Readers, Lantana, Derwent and Jacksons Art Supplies. I have exhibited original work at Fortnum and Mason and Cambridge Contemporary Art. 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.
