Hello!

Denise Hughes

I’m a children’s book illustrator from Hampshire, England. My love of drawing and people watching led me to my dream career of children’s book illustration. My work is inspired by everyday life, nature, animals. I particularly love creating new characters and using pattern and texture. I am lucky enough to work from a creative community studio surrounded by other artists, illustrators and creatives at The Sorting Office Studios.

I’m currently expanding my creative practice to include writing my own picture book stories. It turns out that sometimes my drawings have far too much to say to stay on the page quietly!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening at the allortment and looking after my menagerie of pets.

I am represented by The Bright Agency.
