Clare Fennell
Having left her unversity with an illustration degree, and after fifteen years as a designer and studio manager in the UK greeting card industry, Clare, a mum to Ella (age ten) and Hope (seven), took the plunge and decided to follow her life-long dream to illustrate children’s books. So having quit her job, Clare ousted her hubby from his beloved study, set deep in the English countryside, and promptly converted it to a rather messy studio filled with children’s picture books, cats, cushions, pencils, and paint. Clare set to work carving out her new career as a children’s book illustrator! Some two short years later, Clare is joyfully collaging the contents of her imagination into the pages of children’s books, and loving every moment of it.
