Jonathan Woodward (@jonathan_woodward_studio) is a Devon based, award-winning, double Carnegie medal nominated wildlife illustrator, working in both traditional and digital collage.

With a passion for wildlife from a very early age, he was the kid at school collecting bird figurines instead of Star Wars figures!

After studying Graphic Design and working in the industry for many years, always harbouring the dream to combine his two passions of illustration and wildlife, he finally made the leap 12 years ago and hasn’t looked back.

In a world that’s constantly moving and changing, it can be especially hard for kids to be separated from the people they love most.

When I Am Not with You written by @swrightolsen and illustrated by @asagilland, is a dreamy, rhyming picture book that shows whether it’s across the room or across the world, you and your little one are always together in your hearts and minds.

Mariya Popandopulo (@mariyadoodles) is an illustrator based in France, originally from Kazakhstan.

She has been drawing for as long as she can remember, and illustration has always been a natural part of her life. She currently works primarily in digital illustration, which allows her to develop her style in a flexible and intuitive way.

Her work is inspired by stories, everyday life, and small moments that feel warm and meaningful. She is especially drawn to children’s illustration and enjoys creating bright, playful and emotionally expressive images. Mariya likes to experiment within her style while keeping a strong sense of character and storytelling in her work.

She is currently based in France, where she lives with her husband, their young son, a dachshund, and two cats. Alongside her illustration practice, she enjoys reading, watching films, and photography. Her aim is to create work that feels joyful, gentle and full of personality.

Ruth Burrows (@ruthburrowsillustration) studied Theatre Design at Nottingham Trent University, but her journey took a creative turn when she relocated to the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi. For two decades, Ruth worked in the exciting world of Event Design, creating experiences for large-scale festivals, celebrations and eye-popping decor for Dubai’s famous malls.

Her passion for illustration blossomed while showcasing her work at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair so when the world slowed down during 2020, Ruth saw the perfect opportunity to dive full-time into her love for art and illustration.

Since then, Ruth has written and illustrated numerous creative projects, including the must-have The Illustrator’s Guide to Procreate and several standout non-fiction titles such as Wonderfully Wired Brains (DK Books) and Harry Styles - A Little Golden Book Biography ( Penguin Random House).

These days, Ruth works from her bright, open studio in the charming market town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Stay tuned for her debut venture into author-illustrated picture books—there’s always something new and inspiring when Ruth is around!
