Auriol Bishop

Auriol Bishop brings 25 years book publishing experience to her work as illustrator, writer and creative coach. Her background is as creative strategist, marketing director and copywriter for Penguin Books, Momentum Pictures and Hachette UK and she is a firm believer that you should be able to judge a book by its cover. She enjoys the interplay between words and images: how the two can complement one another to become a greater whole. The picture that catches your eye and draws you closer, the words that begin to pull you deeper into the story…

Her work combines clean fine-lining and classic fonts with textured painterly backgrounds and photography. She notices the little things, exploring our connection with the natural world around us and themes of creativity, mental health and identity.
