Laura Knowles lives in London and has a background in children’s publishing and is the author of We Travel So Far, We Build Our Homes, The Coral Kingdom and It Starts with a Seed, which was awarded the 2017 Margaret Mallett Award for Children’s Non-fiction.
Raised in Wales, Rebecca moved to Herefordshire after being based in London for many years. She collects children’s books, vintage tea towels, Galt toys and Scandinavian ceramics, all of which feed her imagination. Rebecca took her foundation course at the Cardiff School of Art & Design, followed by a BA in Graphic Design at Liverpool School of Art. After graduating, she took an MA in Illustration at the Royal College of Art. There’s a special naïve quality to Rebecca Gibbon’s work that is reminiscent of LS Lowry, but all the colour and activity in each image mean her artworks are perfect for children’s books, travel illustration, advertising campaigns, packaging and editorial.
