      Kate studied a BA in Fine Art at the Slade in London and then an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. In 2019, she won the Ronald Searle Award for creativity and came runner up in the Batsford Prize for her book on the discovery of prehistoric cave painting. Kate loves history and real-life stories and can think of nothing better than bringing that to life for children; giving them access to explore the past through imagery and mysterious tales.
