Self-directed project on various kinds of hummingbirds found in Chiriqui, Panama

Hi! I’m Millie, an illustrator based in Cambridge.

My work is inspired by my experiences and observations of the world around me. I enjoy working with watercolour, gouache , coloured pencil, and fine liner. I love working under a brief and to adapt to tasks. 

My final project includes artwork mostly to share information as I like my illustrations to help convey a message and I have included some reportage work from our trip to Seville that displays my adaptability to different environments and my love for on location drawing.
