Available to hire
Hi, I’m Suzanne Simpson, a passionate illustrator and artist creating colorful digital illustrations for media, publishers, companies and galleries around the globe. I love bringing characters to life and weaving playful, friendly tones into stories, especially in children’s books and educational materials.
When I’m not drawing, I’m writing a humorous rhyming picture book and oil painting scenes of water, people and nature. I also enjoy walking my two fluffy Papillon-Poodle dogs and exploring nature for inspiration.
