Kathryn has been mesmerised by art and creating since she was a young child, She never grew out of that childhood phase of being excited and fascinated by colours and art materials and what you could do with them .
Growing up in North Wales she attended several Art colleges before relocating to the South of England to study a BA(Hons) Degree in communication Media.
After gaining her degree she worked in the professional photographic industry in London for ten years, eventually leaving London to start a family.
She now resides in the vibrant coastal area of Brighton with her human family, Retired Greyhound, 2 Cats and several Rats where she has successfully combined her passion for illustrating with her love of books
“ I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to remain in the Art & Design industry for over 25 years, My enthusiasm for illustrating has never faltered. I’m positive that I have the best job in the world “
