Meeting my Fabulous Illustrator

Maria Ward and Me

May 2024 artists exhibition at Quarr Abbey on the Isle Of Wight

I researched many an artist to find the perfect fit for 'Where's Etty' and eventually I found the wonderful and talented Maria Ward from the Isle of Wight. Her art is full of fun and humour, which suited the book's vibe right down to the ground. I loved her pictures, which had plenty of seaside holiday fun, and also the fact that she was local and knew Studland Bay was a massive plus. Check out her work www.mariaward.co.uk
