Service Description:
Hello, welcome to my iFreelance portfolio, I also have a website which you can contact me directly through

www.fern-wood.com

I went to Falmouth University College in Cornwall U.K where I recieved my BA (hons) degree in Illustration in 2005.

I love children's books mostly not just creating them but collecting other people's too.
I pride myself on my speed and punctuality without sacrificing my style and quality.

I was born in Zambia and moved to the U.K. as a teenager, where I still live today with my husband and daughter. I'm a yoga enthusiast and a Buddhist. I enjoy my work even when it's 4 in the morning and my callous on my leaning finger of my drawing hand is throbbing purple (I hold my pen wrong, at school as a child the nuns would constantly give me a telling off for not holding it correctly- I wonder if I'd learned to hold it right if I'd have the talent to draw now).

some clients:

I have worked for Evans Brothers, Japan Lite, language solutions etc.

Some links to books I have illustrated :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tempest-Teachers-Notes-Graphic-Shakespeare/dp/0237518759 (under other name Charity lincoln)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b/203-1088438-0238324?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=macbeth+lincoln

For these four books Evans Bros. nominated me as best newcomer to children's illustration.
