Over the past couple of years I've been tasked with illustrating three children's books. It's been a dream of mine to help bring people's stories to life using illustrations and it's been a fun and rewarding process thus far. I hope to create many more in the future and hopefully one day have the time to write and illustrate my own story as well.

​Mellorina Jelly

Mellorina Jelly is a funny, intimate and personal project of the author, Mandy Regan. Through this project she records a poem she wrote over twenty years ago after receiving a colourful painting from one of her young nieces. After years of waiting she finally created this book, telling the story of Mellorina Jelly through a fun rhyme, bringing the character to life with full colour, vibrant illustrations. With personal touches of her family, home life and friends throughout the book, this story is not for sale, but below are some of the illustrations that went along in the book.
