Ellie Foster, Never Apologise for Who You Love

Ellie is a Digital Illustrator who lives and works on a narrowboat on London's canals. As a child, Ellie would ask grownups to write stories in her notebooks just so she could illustrate them, and spent most waking hours doodling. Her early career was in graphic design but she missed drawing to tell stories. She bought an iPad and fell in love with the ease of working in full colour and large scale without the need for bulky materials. Her passion for drawing was reignited and she threw herself into life as an Illustrator. She drew for media brand Freeda for 2 years while working on books for Stylist and Ebury alongside. She uses bold colours, clean lines, and sometimes animation to celebrate beauty in all its diverse forms, as well as explore themes of equality, new motherhood, and friendship.
