Cathy Simpson Illustration

Cathy Simpson Illustration Finished pieces and work in progress from Cathy Simpson. Watercolours, pen & ink and digital illustrations.

This page features my recent work; though I work in watercolour and pen/ink in the main, I can also supply digital files. I'm happy to discuss any commissions - from paintings as a gift to a loved one, to illustrations for full-colour picture books. All the illustrations shown on here are available as limited edition prints, too.

Continuing the theme of 'designs-I-designed-for-public-art-trails-but-which-weren't-used', here's a series of designs originally created for the Puffins Galore trail in Hull a couple of years back. They made the shortlist, but I suspect a stumbling block may have been the piles of manmade rubbish on the sea floor. I WAS making a point though!

I'm working on a very large project at the moment, which is going to take months to complete, so rather than leaving this page as a barren wilderness... I thought I'd share some of the Wild in Art designs which didn't get commissioned.
