Born in Lancashire but now based in the Home Counties, Shelagh has always enjoyed drawing and painting. Although never pursuing this passion professionally in her principal career as a computer trainer, for the past seven years she has been a prolific full-time artist undertaking commissions in a wide range of subjects. As a child, Shelagh was a keen reader of fantasy-themed books, so it’s no surprise the first book she has written is in this genre.
Bobbin and the Magical Jigsaw is the start of her journey in the author and illustrator world and this picture book is a tale of escapism in the wonderful, magical land of fairies, folk and fantasies.
