I am Caroline Rudge - artist, illustrator, animator, printmaker.

My love of nature is apparent in all of my illustration work in picture books, adult and children non-fiction and book covers.

I specialise in richly layered images, utilising printmaking techniques, hand painted watercolour, collage and digital drawing to create evocative and detailed images focusing on nature and the natural world.

I am passionate about nature and how we can help promote conservation. I also love folklore, mythology, and using the natural world to help tackle difficult subjects through storytelling.

Please click on the images to see more examples from my portfolio.

Please contact me with any licensing enquiries, illustration or picture book projects you may have in mind.
