Author and Illustrator Hollie Smith

Hollie Smith lives in Worcestershire, England, with her partner and three rescue guinea pigs, Derek, Thelma and Louise. Hollie studied Fine Art at Aberystwyth University, before later retraining as a Veterinary Nurse. During this time, she continued to produce commissioned artwork
(mostly of animals!) and caricatures of her friends, family and pets. Hollie enjoys using traditional pencil crayon because of her admiration for the work of Raymond Briggs, and has dreamt of being a children’s book illustrator since the moment she watched ‘The Snowman’. When not drawing, Hollie enjoys reading and ‘attempting’ to garden.
