About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting my site.
I'm Patty, an Artist..... and Wildlife and Children’s illustrator based by the sea in the North West of England.
The youngest of 5 children born to Irish parents, my summers as a child were spent on the family farm over in Ireland creating my own adventures and having an overly active imagination.
I have two grown children and a cheeky grandson. I am very much young at heart and love getting lost in my drawings and thinking up new creative ventures.
I've always loved drawing and painting and decided 20 years ago I’d had enough of the old day job and took myself off to Glyndwr University where I gained a B.A. and then my M.A in Children’s Book Illustration.
Since then I have been busy illustrating books for clients, commissioned murals, paintings ,wildlife drawing and working on my own books.
