Hello! I’m Carys and I’m a freelance illustrator based in Hackney, East London.

I am passionately curious about the potential that illustration — particularly comics practice — has to activate our empathetic imaginations, to sensitise us to the lives of others; be they human, birch tree, or cabbage white caterpillar.

This curiosity is expressed in my personal work, which is currently focused on making comics that reflect moments from my training as a market gardener with Growing Communities over this summer.

I am really keen to work with collaborators and clients who share this curiosity. My previous and current illustration clients include: Byline Times, openDemocracy, Reprieve, Cornell University Press, Detention Action, and various private clients.

Alongside illustration and learning how to grow veg, I work at Platform London on a campaign to cut fossil fuel industry influence out of politics.

For queries about commissions or anything else, please get in touch via the contact form.

Thank you for visiting my site!
