Hello my name is Ruth O'Hara, I'm an illustrator and digital artist with years of experience using digital media for my creations. I am a self-driven artist having worked on my own independent projects as well as competition briefs, and currently am striving to create a series of stories based on historical and mythical fantasy. I love fantasy genres and my previous experience has shaped my artistic style to be bold and atmospheric, which I consider highly appropriate for children's book illustration.
