| Clare Beaton Illustrator Clare Beaton was brought up in North London where she to this day still lives and works. She studied graphics and art in college. Within a year of her graduation she was picked up by the BBC as an illustrator for childrens programs. Clare Beaton has a love of folk art and now creates illustrations for chldren's books and we are proud to say we carry these fabulous books of hers. She is popular with parents and children alike for using felt and a mostly vintage range of buttons, braid and fabrics. Her pictures are all hand-stitched and she is always looking for more items to recycle and give a new lease on life in her work. Old aprons are a favorite of hers for sources in wonderful patterns. Ms. Beaton's illustrations do not stop there but continue on in pen and in craft and activity books, children's jigsaw puzzles and games and was animated for a series of TV ads in North America for Triaminic. Working with an animation studio has been very interesting for her and she hopes to see more (as we do) of her work animated in the near future. You can see and purchase Clare's books such as:  |
