Illustrator for Hire - Heather Blakey
Recently Heather began sketching, after never having sketched in her fifty five years. The most she did was use some colour pencils to enter Corinella's colouring competition which was featured in Melbourne's Herald Sun when she was still a child.
Since retiring to look after her husband Heather has made sketching a daily practice and over a short period has found the genre that suits her best. She has returned, for inspiration, to the Fairy Tales and Myths that comforted her as a child.
This week she accepted the challenge of illustrating a book for faucon of Sakinel entitled Limora's Gate.If you want Heather to illustrate any work for you just drop a line to Monika Roleff at Hermitage Publications or write directly to Heather. She will no doubt barter with you and come to some arrangement that suits everyone.

"Sally was quiet because she was listening. She didn't have to talk to understand. The trees moved close to her and they sang....Tree branches bowed and waved in joyful play -- responding to the breeze -- a thought not felt on cheek or golden hair."
