Hector and the Butterflies - Limited edition print
"I love the process of writing and illustrating picture books. Sometimes ideas for a story come from something someone says or something I see. Sometimes it is inspired by someone's character or a child's circumstances. My first Picture book, Polly and the North Star came from a childhood memory. At least that is where it began. Sometimes ideas come into my mind like gifts from another place. I can see the story in it's entirety like a picture." Polly Horner
Polly also takes great pleasure in being commissioned to illustrate portraits. She usually take the theme of a birthday party or other celebration, with your child (or children) surrounded by their favourite animals. These make affordable and entirely fantastic personalised presents and are much cherished. For further details please email Julian Thomas.
