About

Hi, I’m Donna, a children’s book illustrator focused on character-driven storytelling. My work centers on expressive characters, clear visual storytelling, and strong character consistency from page to page. I’ve illustrated children’s books and kid-focused projects, as well as educational materials.

I grew up in Wales and spent 16 years in the United States before returning home. For part of that time my family adventured in our RV, Grimmbus. I now work primarily in digital illustration on an iPad, with a background in traditional watercolor and mixed media.

Outside of children’s books, I occasionally take on projects such as pattern design and branding. These projects let me explore visual storytelling in different forms, and I enjoy shaping designs that feel intuitive, charming, and connected to their purpose.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Donna on my children's book, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She displayed an incredible level of patience throughout the process, graciously accommodating my busy schedule without ever compromising the quality or timeliness of her work. Her ability to deliver stunning illustrations promptly, despite my occasional delays, was truly remarkable. What I appreciated most was her wonderfully collaborative spirit. She didn’t just bring my ideas to life - she helped elevate them. From brainstorming creative improvements to refining my vision, her input was invaluable. Her kindness and warm personality made every interaction enjoyable and stress-free, adding a delightful touch to the entire process. Donna is not only an incredibly talented artist but also impressively versatile. She skillfully transformed photos of me and my cousin into beautiful renderings that exceeded all expectations, perfectly capturing the essence I envisioned for my book. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, flexible, and a joy to work with, Donna is the perfect choice. I am so grateful for her contribution and look forward to collaborating with her again in the future!
