Rachel Cloyne has always loved drawing. Since completing her illustration degree in 2004 she has illustrated book jackets, colouring books, children's fiction and a pop up book for several publishers over the last eight years. Her latest work for Nosy Crow, inspired by objects from the British Museum, utilises her ability to incorporate a wide range of classic and historical design into a contemporary style all of her own. She lives in Brighton with her husband and two cats. In her spare time she likes to swim in the Brighton ocean, tend to her many plants and cook up recipes for her friends and family.
