About
Cathy Eliot is an artist, illustrator, and picturebook maker, with a particular love for all things green and growing. As a keen gardener, she hopes her books convey how magical it feels to be surrounded by nature, and encourage people to get out there and get their hands in the dirt too!
She uses primarily acryla-gouache, combined with pencil or digital line-work, to create a soft sense of light and the textures of nature.
