Picture Book Illustrations

I am passionate about creating playful and exciting illustrations for picture books.

I have lots of experience working with graphite pencils and watercolour. I also use procreate, photoshop and illustrator. I love drawing animals, flowers and human characters to create imaginative worlds in soft playful colours.

In 2022 I completed a picture book writing and illustration course with Zanni Louise and Anna Pignataro which fuelled my desire to work with picture books. I am currently illustrating a self published book for a client, while developing a number of my own picture book ideas.

A note from Rebecca

This whole process has been such a special and rewarding experience. Sharon trusted me with her deeply personal story, one that’s so close to your heart and her family. This is why I love what I do—creating art that goes beyond just design. It’s about weaving in the little details and emotions that make a book truly meaningful and precious. Knowing that my work can bring Sharon joy is incredibly fulfilling, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to create something so special for her and all my clients.

Here are some other examples of my work.
