Hi! I’m Sinead and I am a freelance illustrator and artist living in Belfast, Northern Ireland with my children and dog. My studio is in a corner of my kitchen, overlooking my back garden.

Line and wash is my favourite illustration technique. I use brush pens for the line and watercolour or ink for the wash.

I studied Visual Communication at the University of Brighton and Communication Design at the Royal College of Art, specialising in Illustration on both courses. My art studies began when I did my Foundation course at the art college at York Street in Belfast (the year that Echo and the Bunnymen played in the Conor Hall!).

Following a career in design, layout and presentations based in London, I took a break when my eldest child was born, moved to Belfast and now focus on illustration. I also paint and am a Diploma holder with the Ulster Society of Women Artists.

Illustration clients include Women’s News, Belfast City Airport Watch, Diocese of Armagh, and Dromona.
