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.
​
