Hayley Potter (MA RCA)

Hayley studied Fine Art and Illustration in Canterbury and Norwich. She moved to London to study for an MA in Communication Art & Design and has been working there as a freelance Illustrator and Writer since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2007.

Her images and stories have evolved from a fascination in creating and investigating magical and fictional worlds and characters. She loves absorbing words, exploring new ideas and visually communicating both real and imagined situations.

Hayley divides her time between her books, exhibitions, self-initiated projects, collaborations, and commercial Illustration commissions.
