Stephanie Strickland

A never-ending stream of warm and witty characters flows from the pen of talented children’s artist, Stephanie Strickland.

After 12 wonderful years in a busy and successful writing, design and illustration partnership, Blackbird Publishing, Steph continues to offer a friendly and accessible illustration service to clients in the museum and heritage sector as Blackbird Illustration. She enjoys working with learning teams to create family-friendly illustrations to feature in the trails, resources and interpretation of museums and heritage sites across the country.

Steph trained in Graphic Design and Illustration at Epsom School of Art and Design and spent the early part of her working life in advertising and design studios in the West End of London. In her career as a freelance illustrator, she worked for over 20 years in every field of illustration, including advertising, packaging, editorial, character creation, paper products and greetings cards, specialising in illustrating story and information books, educational and study skills materials for both adults and children.
