Monique Scott - Illustrator
Monique Scott is a children's book author and illustrator based in Ebchester. After studying at Sunderland University she decided to write her own books and self-publish them together with related merchandise.
She has supported herself by working but is hoping, in the near future, to devote more time to her primary love of illustration, design and writing. She is also hoping to expand her teaching in local schools and community centres.
She is inspired by the local wildlife and the environment and often works outdoors (weather permitting) to provide a direct connection with her art. Because of her love of nature she is also a volunteer with the Northumberland Wildlife Trust monitoring Ospreys at Keilder and being involved in the conservation of Little Terns and Water Voles.
