Emily Hamilton is an artist & illustrator based on the North Devon coast in the UK. She works from her studio at home and likes fine black pens, ocean dips and a good mug for tea. When she is drawing she loves nothing more than watercolours, gouache, pencils and ink, usually brought together with a flurry of photoshop. When she's not drawing she loves nothing more than her family, fresh air, vegetables and sunshine surfing. You'll find Emily's work in books, magazines, on cards, fabric and the occasional surfboard!
