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. Although I enjoy illustrating a wide range of themes, one of my favourite subjects to paint is natural scenery. I love to find inspiration for this 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.
