Available to hire
I’m Zoe Clark, a versatile illustrator based in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, with over 20 years of experience in the visual arts. My work spans traditional and digital media, including tattoo design, branding, and illustration for private clients and businesses. I love shaping characters and stories into expressive imagery that resonates with audiences, and I’m continually expanding into children’s book illustration to spark imagination and empathy in young readers.
I’m known for a strong work ethic, reliable project management, and a friendly, collaborative approach. I thrive on creating print-ready artwork that communicates clearly, while maintaining a flexible style that can adapt to different brands and narratives. I’m excited to partner with authors and publishers to bring joyful, memorable pictures to life.
