Hannah likes drawing. She also likes playing second hand board games, eating marmite, the colour red, jewellery, a good pen, Felix, mooching around junk shops, being read to, dancing in the kitchen and making lists!

She hates being asked ‘what do you do?’ because she never knows what to say. Sometimes she designs publicity for theatre, sometimes she exhibits work in little galleries, sometimes she has a market stall, sometimes she makes carnival costumes, and sometimes she’s draws pictures for picture books.

In 2008 Hannah’s first picture book, Dog Day was published.

Currently she is working on a series of books with her actor/ writer husband about a Monkey and a Robot, who originally appeared in a series of 26 prints called the ‘A-Z of the little things in life’. Some people think the characters Monkey and Robot are in someway based on her and Felix but she wouldn’t want to fuel the rumours in anyway!

Hannah lives in Bristol where she is learning to grow vegetables, trying to get better at cycling up hills and continues to enjoy making it up as she goes along!
