Hi there, I’m Kate Jones-English.

I’m a traditional illustrator, and the heart behind Tweedsmere Cottage. My illustrations are traditionally made using nib ink and watercolour, with some digital post-production techniques.

I live in the countryside of Western Australia with my little family, and spend my time painting, drawing and neglecting the vege patch.

I’d love to work with brands such as Daler Rowney, Robert Gordon & Puffin Publishing. If you’d like to collaborate, please get in touch!
