Childrens Illustration

As someone who worked with children and loved books I was always number one volunteer for story time and I noticed how much children respond to books as a way to talk about subjects that they might find hard to understand or that other adults were unwilling to talk about, these are some of the pieces of work I produced in response to some more serious ideas.

                                                                                                                                                               

This project was based on a short story written by Janni Howker called "Badger on the Barge" which looks at how a family copes after loosing a child and the affect it has the sibling left behind.

"Living with Dyspraxia"

 The finished pieces of these are too big to scan and don't photograph well so I am working on it!

These are a few parts from them to get an idea of what they look like.

Just incase you were wondering......

Dyspraxia is thought to affect up to ten per cent of the population and up to two per cent severely. Males are four times more likely to be affected than females. Dyspraxia sometimes runs in families. There may be an overlap with related conditions.
