Hannah Cumming
Hannah Cumming has written stories and made pictures since she was very small. For many years her paintings had strong narrative undertones and often included text. While teaching at a primary school in Malaysia, she realised how exciting and challenging working with children is- most lessons revolving around drawings on the blackboard. She believes pictures and stories hugely affect children's imagination and development.
Once the idea of making books dawned on her, Hannah got on to the Illustration course at Falmouth University College. She undertook small commissions while she studied, and graduated in 2007 with first class honours. She has had work exhibited and sold in Falmouth, London and Cheltenham, and won Highly Commended at The Macmillan Children's Book prize twice, for two of the books she wrote and illustrated at college. Her first published book 'The Gift', written by Victoria Field, came out in December 2007. Hannah works with gouache, coloured pencil, watercolour and acrylics.
