Samara Hardy has always loved to draw. Unfortunately for her
parents, this was often on their walls and furniture...with her
mother's lipstick. Realizing she might make a career out of this,
she graduated with a degree in illustration from Falmouth
University and has since illustrated all kinds of wonderful things
from picture books to reusable bags. She spends her days scribbling
away and drawing by the sea. Follow her on Instagram @samara_hardy
