Emily Rose Clarke is an illustrator, writer and artist from Essex in the UK. She tells stories through the medium of appealing characters with an emphasis on emotional grounding, no matter how fantastical the story, as well as a malleable art style to complement this process. With her home filled with a menagerie including ferrets, birds and snakes, it is not only human characters who make their way into her illustrations, and all with a goal of engaging with readers, young and old.
