Hi! My name is Carina Roberts, I’m an artist and illustrator living in Wales. I love telling stories- I’m hugely inspired by animals, the natural world and the sea. You’ll find me at my happiest battling the elements while drawing from life!
I work mostly in traditional media (gouache layered with graphite or coloured pencil) although I do work digitally to edit and prepare my work for purpose. My practice is mostly focused within the children’s book and greetings card markets, I’ve also produced artwork for some exciting public engagement projects – in 2020 I illustrated a Spring Trail of animal characters for the National Trust at Colby Woodland Garden, Pembrokeshire. Above all, I love being able to inspire a little spark of my love for nature in others!
I graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University (now the University of Wales Trinity St. David) in 2014 with a 2:1 in Illustration – I developed a keen interest in the creativity of young children during my time working in a lovely nursery which offered Forest School for four years after this. I now work for two charities alongside my illustration business, both firmly rooted in their love of sharing the natural world with others.
