Amy Husband studied Graphic Arts at Liverpool School of Art, graduating in June 2006. Whilst there she developed a huge passion for children's books and set her heart on establishing a career as a children's illustrator. Amy admires the work of illustrators like Babette Cole and Tony Ross and also takes inspiration from newer talents like Kate Leake and Neal Layton. Her work is fresh, colourful
and spontaneous, incorporating elements of humour and fun, with a light-hearted take on life. She particularly enjoys creating her own hand lettering, and spends hours cutting letterforms out of sheets of paper. In her free time she
enjoys going for walks, and taking weekends away to visit beautiful cities. She is also a passionate collector of interesting and inspiring books.
