Alison is a self-taught artist (traditional) and over the past 18 months has embarked on an exciting journey as an illustrator. She has collaborated with two indie authors, illustrating three books to date, and is currently working on two children’s books. She joins in with art collectives on Twitter for a challenge and for fun.

She could quite happily sit and draw all day, every day. She is passionate about learning new techniques and refining old ones. She collects fantasy art books and pencils.

She is a mum to an 8 year old boy, and lucky him, she is a massive sci-fi geek.

Joy is originally from Hong Kong. Growing up, she enjoyed Japanese comics and cartoons. After moving to the UK as a teen, she was inspired by western art and culture. She developed an interest in oil painting, pencil drawing, watercolour, comics, animation and children’s books. She loved drawing portrait, landscape, still life and fantasy - everything was an inspiration.

Illustration is Joy’s true passion. She has an Illustration Master’s Degree and a First Class BA Hons Degree in the same subject. She was commissioned to do portraits, landscapes and illustrations for children’s books such as ‘Herm’s Secret’ written by Kate O’Hearn, ‘The Bother in Burmeon’ and ‘Trouble in Teutonia’ written by S.P.Moss.

Joy stopped drawing for a few years whilst she was developing her design skills as well as exploring the meaning of life. It is only when she developed some eye issues and saw her vision threatened that Joy realised how much she had missed drawing. When her eyes got better, she started drawing again and resolved to use her skills towards creating something unique, meaningful and inspiring! She decided to use her drawing skill to help people.
