Rebecca Bromley grew up on a wet mountain in Co. Antrim, drawing shifting clouds and sheep.
Having caught the bus to London, she then studied illustration in the cold and marvellous studios of Chelsea Art College and Kingston University.
She is now a freelance illustrator, enjoying the scratchy noise her pencil makes, and the feeling of wrestling pictures out of her head and flattening them onto paper.
Duck-blue eggs, speckled. Transparent birds with voices like quiet clarinets. Nests.
