Sonya Hallett
Artist | Professional | Varied
United Kingdom
I've lived between the UK, China and parts of Europe all my life, and probably drew my first pictures on a long-haul flight with those free crayons they give out to keep kids quiet. I've been doodling animals and imaginary friends ever since, and now I draw children’s books and magazine illustrations to keep me in coffee.
Now I'm an illustrator and graphic designer based in the UK and USA, currently working on a kids book about China, and about to start a grad program studying art, zoology and conservation in the US. In my spare time I experiment with animation and interactive media, read about weird animals and do more drawing.
