Katie Forrester

Katie is an illustrator and printmaker, who also teaches illustration at University of Gloucestershire. Her work primarily draws on themes of nature, folk- and fairy-tale. The starting point for these themes began when she held the role of artist in residence for the Scottish Early Literature for Children Initiative (SELCIE) at the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh. She is currently working with SELCIE to create a map of secret gardens in Old Town, Edinburgh, and is also creating a picture book with the Dr Jenner House Museum in Berkeley, Gloucestershire.
