ABOUT

Megan Snyders is an illustrator from Sussex UK

I am an illustrator from Sussex, UK. I am inspired by colour, nature, and relationships between humans and animals.

I was never far from a sketchbook during my previous BA studies in English Literature. Since then, my interest in observational drawing and storytelling continued to grow and eventually led me to study a Masters in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, graduating in 2024. During the MA, I have enjoyed experimenting with a range of traditional materials and have found myself happiest with paintbrush or ink pen in hand.
