Julia Groves - Illustrator

Julia Groves created her first children's books whilst studying for an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. Since graduating in 2014 she has designed and illustrated a range of baby books and picture books. She enjoys working in all kinds of media; papercut, printmaking, letterpress and hand-drawn typography.

Her baby books were awarded a starred Kirkus review and were nominated for the Progressive Pre-School Awards. Her first picture book received an Outstanding Merit from Bank Street College of Education, New York’s Best Books of the Year list and has been long listed for the Cogan Biodiversity Picture Book Award 2020 in the UK. I See The Sea was shortlisted in the 2022 English Association 4-11 Picture Book Awards. Julia’s Follow My Food collection written by Deborah Chancellor is published by Scallywag Press and the third title Shelly Hen Lays Eggs was shortlisted for the Teach Early Years Award.

Julia also works as a college lecturer, teaching illustration, graphics and printmaking. She lives in the medieval city of Norwich with her husband and two children.
