A little about me

Drawing the details that make stories feel like home.

I am Bethany, an illustrator inspired by nature, cute animals and the stories that stay with us.

My practice

Curious by nature.

I have loved books for as long as I can remember. I grew up drawing characters from my favourite stories, then studied illustration at the University of Plymouth.

Today I make warm, observant images for children's books and marketing. I care about the tiny choices that help a child recognise themselves in a story and want to turn the next page.

I believe the simplest idea can become something meaningful when you look closely.

Let's make something young readers remember.
