Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a professional illustrator specialising in gothic horror, dark fiction, and expressive book illustration. I have illustrated and published three books of my own (with a fourth currently in development), and my work has reached hundreds of readers worldwide. I hold both a First-Class BA (Hons) in Illustration and a First-Class MA in Illustration, and my practice combines traditional and digital approaches — blending the tactile, analogue feel of linocut and woodcut printing with a bold, contemporary edge. My illustrations have been praised for their atmosphere, texture, and storytelling power, making them ideal for projects that need a distinctive, haunting visual identity. I’m always open to new collaborations across publishing, cover design, editorial illustration, and creative campaigns. Whether you need a single illustration, a full book project, or artwork that brings a unique narrative atmosphere, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.…Hi, I’m Sophie!
