Rhian Wright lives with her husband, two children and a very miserable cat called Margaret in Cardiff. Inspired by the outside world, she creates fun, expressive images of diverse characters, focusing on connection and emotion. As a reluctant reader, illustrations were how Rhian accessed stories. She hopes her illustrations help children develop a lifelong love of stories and make sense of things they may not understand, but most importantly have fun!
