Hi! I'm Emmeline, a freelance illustrator and author specialising in books and comics for young people. I love creating stories full of magic and mystery!
I create books, comics, commercial illustration and live portraiture for events.
My work is inspired by my love of social history, nature and folk tales (plus life raising a toddler!). I care deeply about equality, mental health, and the climate crisis, and these themes are a constant throughout my work.
I host workshops and lectures for all ages on illustration, comics, the creative industries, and freelancing; which led to me being awarded IPSE's ‘National Freelancer of the Year’ in 2016.
I'm represented by Thao Le of The Sandra Dijkstra Literary, so please forward all book publishing enquiries to my agent, for anything else pop an email over to me at hello@emmelineillustration.com or say hi on social media.
