I'm Shelley, a Stoke born illustrator currently based in Liverpool in the North West of England.
I specialise in designing illustrated products, making children's picture books and painting colourful murals.

​My inspiration comes from a love of travel and exploring new places. 
My work is intricate and I enjoy incorporating pattern. I predominantly use watercolour, crayon, pencil and sometimes collage materials in my work. Every illustration is hand drawn and I like to build layers within my work through combining media, colour and mark making.

 I have a degree in Graphic Arts and Illustration from LJMU and a Masters degree in Children's Book Illustration from UCLAN.
I'm a qualified Early Years Professional and launched my freelance business in 2012 with support from the Enterprise Fellowship Programme for entrepreneurs at LJMU.
