Ruthine Burton is a children’s book illustrator who in 2021 completed the inaugural Pathways into Children’s Publishing programme. She is based in South-West London and her parents came to the UK many years ago, from Dominica and French Guyana.

She has a B.A. hons in Visual Art from University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Once upon a time she was a pavement portrait artist and subsequently spent several years as an artist in the games industry creating weird and wonderful creatures and environments. She now loves to work on real paper with pastels, pencils or paint, as well as digitally. Ruthine also has an MSc in Software Engineering.

Habiba Nabisubi is a British Ugandan multimedia artist based in South London. Having lived in both Kampala, Uganda as well as the UK, she draws huge inspiration when creating new work from both sides of her heritage and lived experience. Habiba is a visual storyteller who is drawn to lots of different mediums, from stop motion animation and painting to community arts projects and embroidery. But her biggest love however has always been illustration. In 2016 Habiba graduated from Camberwell College of the Arts with a BA(Hons) degree in illustration, then in 2019 went on to earn a place within the Arts Council funded incubator programme Pathways Into Children’s Publishing.

Habiba makes work that she feels is relevant, usually rooted within topics that are bigger than herself with the hope that they evoke emotion. She would describe her illustrations as highly detailed, inclusive, conversation starters and an opportunity for learning (often by using subtle elements of humour or some sort of social commentary). She thoroughly enjoys the process of creating characters, conjuring up refreshing narratives and trusting her imagination to execute her vision powerfully. Everything she creatively sets her mind to is a labour of love.

Chih-An Chen is a freelance Taiwanese illustrator based in London. Chih-An is passionate about graphic novels and considers herself an experienced Japanese manga nerd; she loves making comics and usually finds her inspiration from all the small, lovely things in everyday life. Her works are full of quirky, funny, and heart-warming elements. She thinks pictures and smiles are the two things that can make the world a better place without complications.
