Hello! I’m Rachael and I’m a British children’s book illustrator living in a seaside village just North of Liverpool. My work is traditionally and digitally painted and portrays rich imagery and engaging characters. I love to illustrate natural scenery, and enjoy finding inspiration when visiting my local national trust, beach and the glorious Lake District. When I'm not illustrating, I like to wind down by playing the piano, cooking delicious plant-based dishes and by reading a good book.

​

I am currently enjoying working on middle grade fiction and picture books, and my proudest achievement so far is becoming Dame Jacqueline Wilson's new illustrator.
