Author Biography
Cindy Wilde (Author) Cindy Wilde makes simple, joyful, quirky designs using bold graphic shapes and blocks of flat colour combined with areas of intricate pattern. All the elements within her work are made by hand using acrylic paint, indian ink and simple print techniques. They are then cut and reassembled to create the final piece. Sally Moret (Author) As well as her work on children's books, Sally Moret has worked as a freelance designer on graphics, fashion designs, greeting card designs, gift-wrap and printed textiles. With decades of experience, Sally's style incorporates hand-drawn artwork rendered with Adobe Illustrator to produce a more unique and complete design style. She specialises in repeat patterns, animals, birds flowers, shoes, cupcakes and all things cute. Felicity French (Author) Felicity lives in Surrey and works from home in her cosy studio. She studied illustration at the Arts University College Bournemouth and graduated in 2011. She has since pursued a freelance career illustrating children's books and creating greeting card designs. Felicity's illustrations are typically bright and colourful, often incorporating decorative patterned elements. Her unique style is a fusion of watercolour and black fine-line pen detail. Felicity has worked on books, greeting cards and a number of acrylic paintings based on well-known film characters. In her spare time she enjoys distance running, making homemade products for her Etsy shop, listening to music and drinking tea! Chellie Carroll (Author) Beginning her creative career as a designer working on projects for the launch of Playstation 2 and BBC3, Chellie Carroll turned to illustration full time in 2000. Chellie has worked for Cadburys, Kelloggs, Cancer Research and Readers Digest amongst others.
