Clare grew up constantly reading, drawing and singing! Having left university with an illustration degree, she worked as a designer, studio manager and product manager in the greetings card industry for fifteen years. Latterly, Clare decided to follow her true ambition to illustrate children’s books, setting to work creating a studio filled with picture books, cats, cushions, pencils, paint and a gazillion scraps of paper. Working from her studio in Leicestershire, Clare can also be found daydreaming, listening to loud tunes, and drinking too much coffee. She is often distracted by Bowie the Border Collie!
