Hannah Blackman-Kurz

Hi, my name is Hannah. I'm an Artist and Illustrator living in Liverpool, UK. I recently completed an MA in Children's Book Illustration at the University of Central Lancashire where i also teach part-time on the Illustration course working alongside students and helping them to develop their creative practice.

I have worked as a freelance illustrator for several years and have been commissioned by clients in areas of publishing, editorial, advertising, and design work for local charities.

When i am not teaching or working on commissions, i spend my time researching character representation in children's literature and the impact it has on child development. I am a strong believer that children's books can help future generations build a better society to live in.
