Klara Hawkins was born in northwestern England in a very pretty, hilly, and wet rural area. A childhood full of rainy days allowed for lots of time spent indoors drawing and painting. She went on to study illustration at Kingston University. Upon graduating, she fell into her dream job designing and illustrating greetings cards, wrapping paper, toys, and stationery. Now she is a freelance illustrator and loving every minute of it.
