About

Hi, I’m Ashley Petty—I’m a freelance illustrator based in Norwich in Norfolk. I recently completed my BA Illustration at Norwich University of the Arts, and I enjoy creating bold, colourful work that can move smoothly between grounded stories and fantastical, comical moments.

My focus is narrative illustration, especially for comics and children’s books, where storytelling and character play are at the heart of everything I make. Alongside freelancing, I’ve built strong retail experience through roles that sharpened my customer service and presentation skills, and I use a mix of digital and traditional methods to bring ideas to life.
