Biography:
Vicki is an illustrator and hand-lettering artist based in Edinburgh. She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2005 with a BA(Hons) Illustration degree and in 2007 she was also awarded a Masters in Design, after receiving the Andrew Grant Bequest to fund her studies. Her bold, quirky and humorous images and delicious hand lettering make her work perfect for print and the web, and her clients to date include Random House, BEAM Education, Top Santé Magazine and the National Trust.
About writer's work:
An exciting new picture book talent, she likes to write and illustrate children's stories and has a passion for cupcakes, pretty patterns and handmade objects. She works from her studio with her little dog, Roo, and Siamese cat, Bobby, for company.
About writer's events and projects:
My previous events include an adult workshop at Edinburgh Central Lending Library focussing on how to become an illustrator, an event with a storyteller at the Scottish Storytelling Centre and the Borders Book Festival 2011 – where I drew live on a flipchart for a large school group during a story-making session hosted by Vivian French.
