Children's Illustration

Hello, I’m Holly - a freelance illustrator and children’s book creator who lives and works by the sea in Bournemouth, UK. 🌊

I tell stories about cats, witches, ghosts, mysteries, theatres and things that go ‘eek!’ in the night.

I have one live cat named Rupert and five ghost cats named Jake, Sid, Timmy, Charlie and Dorothy. Also, I’ve just given you my dad’s WiFi password.
