Patricia Moffett

I work from home between the mountains and the sea in Snowdonia, north Wales. The ever-changing light here is a constant inspiration in my work. The landscape is ancient and soaked in myth. I love creating an atmosphere to tell a tale and enjoy any subject with an element of the uncanny.

 

I've enjoyed working in publishing for 35 years and am constantly exploring new subjects and techniques to keep me on my toes and my style fresh. I've illustrated best-selling picture books for major publishers - one example of which is Fairies, for Carlton Books, which has been reprinted 19 times and made hundreds of thousands in sales.

 

I have a down-to-earth approach and am very easy to talk to. Each project is greeted with enthusiasm and I enjoy discussing and developing ideas together with authors. We talk through how the image would work and I provide a pencil rough. I’ll then add the light and magic!

 

I'm delighted to say that I provide a full service - both design and illustration. Whether it's for a cover only or a picture book - I'll work with you from concept to delivering files ready for Print or as ePubs.

 

Look out for my trusty assistant on any video calls - Oskar the Bearded Collie!
