Jane has been illustrating picture books for many years, and more recently has been writing them too. She trained at Middlesex University in 3 Dimensional Design – specialising in Ceramics, but has been illustrating since she graduated.
She has designed cards, posters and book jackets but finds the picture book is the most satisfying format, and is particularly drawn to folk and fairy tales from every culture. Her own writing often draws on these sources for inspiration.
Jane often works with children in schools or in the community, and finds the experience of working with children helps to keep her work fresh.
