Biography
I have always been fascinated by miniature things: when I was young I spent my time making tiny clothes and houses and writing fairy letters. While at university I began to combine this fascination with my other passion for drawing and writing. I love to create miniature worlds out of paper and fabric and photograph them to make illustrations.
I do sometimes create illustrations using the normal method of pencil and paper too!
I studied illustration at Norwich University College of the Arts and then went on to do an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.
My favourite books are the Dorrie books by Patricia Coombs.
The Diary of Wiska Wildflower: The New School
The first book in an exciting new series from the creator of Isadora Moon, Harriet Muncaster. Told in diary format and packed with beautiful full-colour illustrations, this is the enchanting story of Wiska Wildflower and her search for friendship at Inkcap’s Academy.
ONE day until I go to my new school. Eeeek! It’s called Inkcap’s Academy and it’s in Twitching. TWITCHING! Yes, I now live on the completely opposite side of Wiskling Wood to my old school in Acornia, and more importantly, MY FRIENDS . . .
Wiska Wildflower is relieved when she makes friends with Cleobelle and Primrose on her first day at Inkcap’s Academy. They love Wiska’s drawings and ask her to help them design matching outfits for a special fashion show in Spellbrooke City. But the more Wiska gets to know her new friends, the more she feels she must hide her true self and follow their rules. Can Wiska find the bravery she needs to get her creative spark back and discover true friendship?
