Our 2022 Artist and Author in Residence!

Artist Pete Gray

Pete Gray followed his lifelong passion for drawing and visual storytelling into a full time career as an illustrator in July 2021 and has since had the pleasure of illustrating for everything from packaging and poetry to book covers and branding.

It's recognising that every new image is an opportunity to make a positive impact in the world that inspires much of Pete's work and humorous, character filled creations are his typical tool of choice.
