Hi, I’m Megan!
I’m an illustrator from Scotland. I am currently based in Edinburgh, and have just graduated my MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.
I am enjoying working in mixed media and especially love getting my oil pastels out.
I love collecting stories from personal memories and moments in my life, and always look back to my childhood and friendships when illustrating stories and characters. I love to celebrate kind and unique characters in my work which I observe in my real life!
In my spare time I ask to pet dogs on my walks, spend time in coffee shops on chilly mornings, and rummage through car boot sales and vintage shops.
