About

Hello! I’m a freelance illustrator and picture-book-maker living and working in Bristol, UK. Originally from Swansea, I moved to Bristol to study illustration at UWE and haven't left since graduating in 2017.

 

I enjoy telling stories through my drawing and use a variety of media, including a mix of traditional and digital techniques. I love using bright colours and drawing grumpy faces.

 

If you’re keen to work with me, please send me an email at katiemcottle@gmail.com, or contact my agent Alice via email at alice@ashliterary.com for any publishing projects. You can also fill in the form below to get in touch.
