About

Dawn is a children’s illustrator and author, and graphic designer based in Northumberland, England. As a child, she was fortunate to grow up in an area that was, at the time, surrounded by fields. Dog walks in the fields were a place of magic and wonder, where her imagination could run free and make up stories. She enjoyed art and design throughout school and college, and studied graphic design at Staffordshire University, graduating with first-class honours.

Dawn is inspired by magical landscapes and spaces, whether that be a woodland in England, Icelandic black sands, or little bookshops (she loves to add to her ever-expanding library). She is at her happiest when she is either reading, writing, or creating fun characters and sending them off on adventures.

Dawn is also an EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner, as she is passionate about helping people with emotional attachments that might hold them back – she would love to help her fellow creatives work through their anxieties and doubts, so everyone can continue to share their art with the world, unhindered.
