Hello! I’m Rachael and I’m a British children’s book illustrator living in Formby, Liverpool UK. I have been working in the children's book industry for over four years, and have illustrated 24 books to date. My work is traditionally and digitally painted, and portrays rich imagery and engaging characters, and I love to find inspiration for this when visiting my local national trust 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'm currently enjoying working on middle grade fiction and picture books, and my proudest achievement so far is becoming Dame Jacqueline Wilson's new illustrator.
