Life Love and Me features author and illustrator Holly Swain

This year open house curator and artist Sarah Bagg of Life Love and me (celebrating 5 years of AOH) will be showing the work of author and illustrator Holly Swain. A published author and illustrator of her own children's books, with 2 more books on the way!

Holly Swain is a children’s book illustrator, living in Hove with her husband Matt and their two daughters. She studied Illustration at UWE Bristol and then did an MA in Brighton.

She loves drawing new characters and these pop up all over products, from interchangeable badges in a tin, to colouring in posters, cards and prints. She will also have copies of her first picture book, 'Colin's Castle', that she has written and illustrated and she'll happily sign and draw in it for you.

Holly works traditionally with dip pen and inks and watercolours, with a bit of digital and a bit of collage thrown in.
