EMMA HAY- illustrator 
Emma Hay loves creating art that is cute, colourful and memorable. Following her creative passions she has had a fun filled career working in a wide range of children’s media including Animation, Gaming and Design. However, nothing has captivated her more than working in the delightful world of Children's Picture Book Illustration.
When she is not working on her next picture book, Emma can be found enjoying her second (or third) cup of coffee and exploring the great indoors with her couch potato cat, Mr Chicken and little dog Theo.
