About | Charlotte Fairclough

Hello!

I am an illustrator and artist currently based in Cambridge, UK, where I recently completed my MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

Throughout the MA, I have loved developing my storytelling skills and accessing the part of my imagination that thrived during childhood. My interests currently lie in the spooky and mysterious and I like to explore these ideas with a touch of humour. For me, creating a book is like a puzzle and I enjoy the challenge of exploiting the narrative potential of all aspects of the book object. I also love the atmosphere created by light and shadow, and have enjoyed exploring processes to achieve this in my work.

When I'm not working on a project, I spend most of my time drinking tea, eating crumpets, reading murder mysteries or spending time outside.
