About Kate Read Illustration

Kate Read is an award winning children's book illustrator and writer based in Norfolk, UK. Her children's books and greetings cards are sold all over the world. "Every collaged image starts with drawing so I can work out the shape and personality of the animal or person I am illustrating. I really enjoy observational drawing but it’s playing with paint, scissors and glue that I really enjoy and that is when my work starts to come alive." Kate's greetings cards are printed on luxurious, sustainably sourced, chlorine free 400gsm card. They are fully recyclable. All cards are blank inside and are the perfect way to show someone you care. Read their story
