I enjoy communicating visually and celebrating diversity and relationships. I have worked as an Illustrator / Artist for many years and over that time I have produced interesting, vibrant artwork for a wide range of clients from large, global publishing houses to individuals on small independent commissions. I have a reputation for creating great artwork and being very thorough and professional in my approach. I am happy working in a range of situations from having lots of creative freedom to working on specific, detailed briefs. I have had a lot of experience creating illustrations for use in different continents and I am good at adapting to cultural requirements. I am comfortable working with a wide range of subject matter as you can see from my portfolio.
After studying Art and English at A-level, I completed an Art Foundation course at University of the Arts London (BSAD). I then did a degree in Visual Communication – specialising in Illustration (BA Hons) at Birmingham City University (U.C.E.) and I also studied Art at Postgraduate level at Reading University.
I remember reading ‘The Giant Jam Sandwich’ as a little girl and deciding that I wanted to “make pictures” and “make stories” when I grew up. I am a prolific creator of images which started from when I was old enough to hold a crayon. I have always loved narrative and would often be the storyteller to my siblings. Having a writer for a mother and a grandfather who is a poet, I grew up with a range of interesting stories and words floating around my head. Mostly I illustrate other people’s words, stories and concepts though sometimes I am both author and illustrator, ‘Cinderella and Her Beautiful Stepsisters’ picture book is an example of this.

Beth has worked on various Macmillan titles for me. The response to brief is spot-on and deadlines are met.
Her Creativity and Skill
It has been great to be able to put something so unique and individual into the wedding and we have Beth and her creativity and skill to thank for that! She was prompt, professional and produced fabulous designs – a definite recommendation.
She Captured Us Perfectly
We chose Beth and we are so glad we did. She captured us perfectly. It’s so unique and she put so much love and detail in.
