Mark Nicholas
Children's Book Illustrator
I was born in York but now live on a farm amongst the gorgeous Welsh countryside.
In 2017 I graduated from the Cambridge School of Art with an MA in Children's Book Illustration.
Whilst studying I went on to win both the Lara Jones Award and the inaugural Carmelite Prize where I was chosen to illustrate Cressida Cowell's latest picture book 'The Story of Tantrum O'Furrily', published in 2018 by Hodder.
The Story of Tantrum O'Furrily was nominated for the
Kate Greenaway Medal and longlisted for the
Klaus Flugge Prize in 2019.
