Seona Calder
Seona Calder was born and raised in Scotland. After studying art, she went on to work as an illustrator on various projects, including books on science, astronomy and animal behaviour.
Seona claims that ‘living with a menagerie of animals over the years,’ has inspired her to use them as allegories for human behaviour brought to life through her illustrations.
Seona still lives in Glasgow and finds her inspiration from its culture and open spaces.
