Kate Daubney was born sunny North Devon, where she grew up on a diet of Devonshire cream teas and Cornish pasties.

Drawing, painting and writing stories have always been her favourite pastimes, and as a child she spent many weekends at the beach with a sketchbook creating quirky characters.

Since graduating from the University College Falmouth in 2009 she has worked full-time as an illustrator. Kate's love of animals and nature inspire her bright, colourful and quirky illustrations.
