Illustration from No, I'm Katy (working title)
Katy is on a serious mission but someone keeps seeing it differently!
"No, I'm Katy" playfully explores a child's reluctance to be labeled and put inside a box as she tries to get on with the business of her day and most importantly - just being herself!

I am an artist and early career Children's picture book author/illustrator living in Edinburgh.
I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Picture Hooks Buddy Scheme 2024, where I was mentored by Author/Illustrator Morag Hood while working on this story.
This is my first children's picture book and I am looking for representation and/or to get it published. Agents and publishers - I would love to hear from you!

I aim to make drawings that are expressive, fun and full of warmth and humanity.
I love using bold, lively lines, graphic shapes and vibrant colours.
