About N J Mills Illustrations

Nicky is a children’s book illustrator with over seven years’ experience creating expressive, hand-drawn artwork. Her work celebrates wobbly lines, organic shapes and tactile mark-making, retaining the warmth and character that bring stories to life. She specialises in picture books and character-led storytelling, with a style full of personality and gentle humour. A former English and Art teacher in Spain and South Korea, she brings a strong understanding of how children connect with language, imagery and character.
