Lottie Bowman

Lottie Bowman - well, who is she?

Lottie has loved painting since childhood. From an easel in the garden at age 3 to a Queen's Jubilee Drawing competition at age 6, Lottie's constantly doodled pictures of her friends and teachers in lessons, leading on to professional card and book illustration as well as painting murals for both school and church.
 
Lottie studied fine art in York and specialised in printmaking. She enjoys painting with her children and making her own stories. She would like to paint pictures for galleries that show a child's view of the world, e.g. a big yellow bus in front of York Minster!
 
Lottie is married with two children and a dog called Wrigley who is one quarter whippet, one quarter terrier and half cartoon! Sophie the rabbit also lives in the garden!
 
Tommy Two Tones is a fabulous series of stories and adventures. Lottie has loved drawing and colouring it, and making people laugh at hedgehogs crossing the road and mice saying "ssh"!
 
Silliness and colour are Lottie's contribution to children's books. Her imagination is full of a child's adventure. When the brush is in her hand even a pebble can become alive!

Tommy Two Tones is a great ambulance and a friendly face in a child's world. Look out for all his adventures and the little details that make you chuckle.
