Vikki Yeates
I am an illustrator living and working in Bath, although I spent many years in Brighton, where I did a Degree in Illustration in the early 90s. My artwork can be divided into 2 categories: British Wildlife, particularly the hare; and dark, eerie illustrations Most of my commercial work these days tends to be wildlife, but I still like to make them appear dark and atmospheric. The hare is a constant source of inspiration for me, having so many meanings and stories from all over the world.
