Artists : Jill Latter

I have been working as an Illustrator since graduating from the University of Brighton in 1997.
I live in West Sussex, with my husband and our two daughters, not forgetting our two cats and two very large mountain dogs! I am always taking inspiration from my surroundings, where I find that children and animals constantly offer humour, chaos and much variety to my day! In between the school runs and dog walks and my passion for salsa dancing, I love to absorb myself in my artwork.
I particularly enjoy working in watercolours with pen and ink detail, which I find adds expression and fluidity to an image. My other style, Inky Stick, is literally as it sounds, a stick and a pot of ink, giving a great freeness and spontaneity to an illustration.
My work can be seen in the form of picture books, stationary, on kitchenware, and on many many greeting cards.
Over the years I have taught both children and adults, from being Head of an Art department for 8 years, to a Private Tutor. I particularly enjoy working with children, they often see what we as adults look beyond.
