About me

Beccy is an experienced children's illustrator and artist, with a love of all things humorous which invariably end up in her pictures and paintings. She enjoys exploring ideas and narrative from simply drawing imaginative and amusing concepts through to beautifully coloured artwork and bespoke pieces. She loves observing life and all the silly side it brings, her illustrations make her young audience smile whether they're reading a book she's illustrated or an animation she's storyboarded for. Since leaving art college in Newcastle upon Tyne she has worked extensively in the world of childrens publishing, animation, design and advertising, editorial, greetings cards and bespoke mural and art commissions, both here in the UK and overseas. She works mainly in pencil, acrylics, watercolour, pen and ink and digital media often combining all.

As well as regular illustration commissions she's been working with Complete Control, a double Bafta winning childrens digital multimedia Studio, based in Bath, on the first, second and third series of Nick Cope's Popcast for CBeebies.
She recently painted an "Owl of Bath", Mowlberry Beak, which is currently on public display at Mulberry Hub in Combe Down, Bath and also painted a lion for the Lions of Windsor trail, which is currently on public display at The Cinnamon Cafe in Windsor.

She is currently working on her first series of graphic novels, a super lead title "Chicken Hill" for Bloomsbury, published in 2026.

She is based in Bath with her partner, also an illustrator and artist, 2 kids, 2 cats called Milo and Elsie, and a pond full of newts and the odd frog.
