Lucy is an international children’s book illustrator from the U.K. She has had many years experience and her clients include, Simon & Schuster USA, American Girl, Scholastic USA, Heinmann, Harper Collins USA, Little Brown Books USA (YA and children’s fiction). She loves working in the children’s book market as there is so much freedom to express creativity and have fun with imaginative worlds. Her style is energetic and lively in its execution and subject matters. Lucy is hugely inspired by past masters of children’s book illustration such as M Sasek and Maurice Sendak. Inspiration is drawn upon experiences and people watching, notably observing her own children and understanding their nuances!
