Monica Hidalgo Charman
Merging the natural and fantastical, I wish to create illustrations that will transport onlookers to exciting and immersive worlds.
My projects focus on character and narrative led illustrations with an aim to spark a sense of fun through colourful and expressive illustration. Storytelling in illustration is exciting for me and being able to bring a story and its characters to life through immersive imagery is one of the main goals of my work. After leaving university, my aim is to become a freelance illustrator with a speciality in children’s storybooks.
