Patron
Millie Marotta is a freelance Illustrator working from her studio by the sea in a little corner of West Wales. A fascination with the natural world, a love of decorative design and a keen eye for detail are at the core of Millie’s work.
It’s an absolute pleasure to be joining the team at The Big Draw as a Patron. I’m a big fan of their work in inspiring and encouraging people across the world to engage in drawing - a rewarding and important activity that for so many of us gets left behind in childhood.
In 2014 Millie released Animal Kingdom - A Colouring Book Aventure, which went on to become a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller. Since then she has created a further five colouring books, loved by fans the world over. Her most recent book A Wild Child’s Guide to Endangered Animals (Published by Penguin Random House UK) sees Millie delve into working in full colour alongside writing about a subject very close to her heart. Above all else her intention is to create beautiful and captivating work, which both celebrates and raises awareness of the natural world.
