How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

I am a surfer, cyclist and outdoor wanderer that is inspired by animals and nature. My passion is bringing stories to life for children through adventure and humour. My aim is to build a connection that inspires people to go outside and create their own adventures, regardless of their age.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

The biggest privilege you could want. I see the world quite simply. I am inspired by love. Bringing smiles to people for a living, young and old, is the greatest thing in the world.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

My name is GK Elliott and I'm a children's book author and illustrator.

Your practice & activities include e.g workshops, teaching: 

As an author I write my own books in Children's Fiction, which is mostly Middle Grade, with some picture books also. I have just started a collaboration with another author.
As an illustrator, I work on my own books or for others. I also create and sell prints based on themes. I usually do these in sets of 5 or 6 periodically throughout the year. I also design and sell greetings cards. All of my products are made locally and from sustainable materials - which is a huge drive for me.
As an illustrator, I also provide workshops for Primary schools teaching the fundamentals of drawing and creating characters.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice: 

I am self taught but have been a creative my whole life.
